WiFi Networks of Rafisa
The SSIDs of the WiFi Networks at Rafisa are:
RAFISA-GUEST - for Guests and the Apprentices. To connect to this WiFi, you must ask the Helpdesk or your Master for the Password.
RAFISA-WLAN - Authentication works with the AD-Login. You will be automatically connected to the correct VLAN. How the Authentification works: 802.1X
Connectivity Access points
The access points are connected to a VLAN trunk on which VLANs 21 (instructor), 22 (student) and 23 (guest) are tagged and VLAN 1 is untagged. The PVID of the port should be 1. VLAN 1 is used for communication between Access Points and the UniFi Controller.
It is very important that Loopguard for the VLAN trunks is switched off on the switch, as otherwise errors may occur and the port may be deactivated as a result.
