Guest Services (Wireless Guest Services)
SonicOS supports Guest Services. Guest services are typically used in wireless hotspot deployments, but
they can also be used in scenarios such as guest clients needing to plug into the wired LAN infrastructure.
As of SonicOS 5.2, WGS is not supported on the LAN zone, however there is workaround. When creating an
interface, define the security type as “Wireless”. The wireless security type has all the facets of the LAN
(trusted) zone in addition to support for WGS and LHM.
Step 1: Create a new zone and define it as a wireless zone.
Step 2: Under the Wireless tab uncheck the box for “Only allow traffic generated by a SonicPoint /
SonicPointN”. Unchecking this allows traffic on this zone to come from wired users.
