Configuring the Hospitality Example Deployment
Configuring the hospitality example deployment involves the following procedures:
• “Configure the SonicPoint Profile” on page 176
• “Configure the Zones” on page 176
• “Configure the PortShield Interfaces with the PortShield Wizard” on page 179
Configure the SonicPoint Profile
This example uses two SonicPoints to grant wireless access to users throughout the complex.
Residents can log in with their accounts, and guest users can log in using Wireless Guest
Services. The SonicPoint profile contains the settings that the security appliance automatically
applies to all connected SonicPoints.
Follow the procedures in “SonicPoint > SonicPoints” section on page 391 and configure the
SonicPoint profile. Keep the defaults except where appropriate for your installation. Set the
SSID for both 802.11a and 802.11g radios to a name that identifies the apartment complex or
hotel, for example, “SonicWALL Arms Resident Internet.”

internet.
