Instant On - Wireless

We have Instant On 215's at most of our locations on 8.6.0.8_79369 firmware, setup with a company and guest network. We recently switched from SonicWall firewalls to CATO firewalls. Apparently they see the guest network completely differently. When behind the SonicWalls we created the guest network as an employee type with passcode, restricted traffic from our local networks and it just worked. Internet only access. After we switched to the CATO's it's been sketchy, especially for mobile devices.

Talking with the CATO techs they recommended creating a VLAN on the firewall and routing everything on the gust network to it, DHCP, DNS, etc. Since setting up the guest network initially was super simple we really didn't need a ton of knowledge on setting up networks on the Aruba's. Now we are struggling to get it up and functional. The company network is fine, DHCP and DNS is handled by our internal servers. I'm assuming that we can configure the AP's to do this we just are unsure how. Any info would be appreciated.

Hello,

Looking at the firmware release - 8.6.0.8_79369 - I think you are confusing Aruba Instant, which uses ArubaOS with Aruba Instant On which is built on a different platform. As such, you may get support if you address your question on Airheads Community.
