After locating the W-IAP, the following transactions take place between the client and the W-IAP: 1. Authentication-The W-IAP communicates with a RADIUS server to validate or authenticate the client. 2. Connection-After successful authentication, the client establishes a connection with the W-IAP. Network Types Instant wireless networks are categorized as: l Employee network-An Employee network is a classic Wi-Fi network. This network type is used by the employees in an organization and it supports passphrase-based or 802.1X-based authentication methods. Employees can access the protected data of an enterprise through the employee network after successful authentication. The employee network is selected by default during a network profile configuration. l Voice network-This Voice network type allows you to configure a network profile for devices that provide only voice services-for example, devices such as handsets or applications that require voice traffic prioritization. l Guest network-The Guest wireless network is created for guests, visitors, contractors, and any nonemployee users who use the enterprise Wi-Fi network. The VC assigns the IP address for the guest clients. Captive portal or passphrase-based authentication methods can be set for this wireless network. Typically, a guest network is an unencrypted network. However, you can specify the encryption settings when configuring a guest network. When a client is associated to the Voice network, all data traffic is marked and placed into the high-priority queue in the (Quality of Service) QoS.
