Forcing certain WLAN traffic out certain ZD ports?

[jeremy_west_564]

Using a ZD1100, I would like to tunnel guest traffic back to the ZD and force it out one of the ports that will be connected only to the Internet modem. The other port will be connected to the network switches, but the customer wants to make sure that the guest WLAN traffic is tunneled and then only able to go out the specific physical port on the ZD that goes directly to the modem. Is this possible? If so, how?

Sory, the double face palm wasn't directed at you but rather at the customer. We have a few of those here too.

The ZoneDirector manages Access Points, it is NOT a router. Both Eth ports on
the ZD are one logical interface. There are two, so you can connect a PC for
direct access if needed, or to connect to two switches for redundancy, allowing
the switches to use STP to block one port.

It is not possible to direct some traffic out one ZD Eth port, and other traffic out the
other.

That second etherport is so useful for ZD management when out of switch ports. Only slightly bettered if it could be provided with a plastic etherport blanking cap, then it's out of sight of those that don't know.

Michael clearly points out this is not possible; the Two ports are bridged.
Tell the customer they best leave it to you as they don't seem to have a handle on security and traffic management.
