5. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere

This section details the configuration of VLANs, Wi-Fi networks, and Access Control List (ACL) rules to segment your network for different user groups (Owner, Staff, Customer).

5.1 Setting Up VLANs

To enhance security and manage network access, we will create separate VLANs for staff and customers. The default LAN (VLAN 1) will serve as the core network for the owner.

1. Access LAN Settings: Haere ki Settings > Wired Networks > LAN.
2. Create Staff VLAN (VLAN 10):
   • Click 'Create New LAN'.
   • Tautuhi Ingoa: Staff_VLAN10.
   • Purpose: Select Atanga.
   • LAN Interfaces: Select all LAN ports on the gateway that should belong to this VLAN.
   • VLAN Type: Select Takitahi.
   • VLAN ID: Set to 10.
   • Gateway/Subnet: Set to 192.168.10.1/24. Click 'Update DHCP Range'.
   • Ensure DHCP Server is enabled.
   • Click 'Save'.
3. Create Customer VLAN (VLAN 20):
   • Repeat the process for a new LAN.
   • Tautuhi Ingoa: Customer_VLAN20.
   • VLAN ID: Set to 20.
   • Gateway/Subnet: Set to 192.168.20.1/24. Click 'Update DHCP Range'.
   • Click 'Save'.

5.2 Setting Up Wi-Fi Networks (SSIDs)

Create three separate Wi-Fi networks (SSIDs) for the owner, staff, and customers, associating them with the respective VLANs.

1. Access WLAN Settings: Haere ki Settings > Wireless Networks > WLAN.
2. Create Owner Wi-Fi:
   • Click 'Create New Wireless Network'.
   • Network Name (SSID): Set to Cafe Owner.
   • Set a strong Security Key.
   • Keep other settings on default.
   • Click 'Apply'.
3. Create Staff Wi-Fi:
   • Click 'Create New Wireless Network'.
   • Network Name (SSID): Set to Cafe Staff.
   • Set a strong Security Key.
   • Under 'Advanced Settings', enable VLAN and set VLAN ID to 10.
   • Click 'Apply'.
4. Create Customer Wi-Fi:
   • Click 'Create New Wireless Network'.
   • Network Name (SSID): Set to Cafe Customer.
   • Set a strong Security Key.
   • Whakahohe Whatunga Manuhiri to prevent clients from reaching private IP subnets.
   • Under 'Advanced Settings', enable VLAN and set VLAN ID to 20.
   • Whakaritea te Client Rate Limit Profile to limit download and upload speeds for customers (e.g., Download Limit: 1000 Kbps, Upload Limit: 500 Kbps).
   • Click 'Apply'.

5.3 Setting Up ACL Rules

To prevent clients in different VLANs from accessing the core network or communicating with each other, configure Access Control List (ACL) rules.

1. Access ACL Settings: Haere ki Network Security > ACL > Gateway ACL.
2. Create Staff VLAN 10 ACL Rule:
   • Click 'Create New Rule'.
   • Ingoa: Staff_VLAN10_ACL.
   • Status: Ensure Whakahohe ka tirohia.
   • Direction: Select LAN-LAN.
   • Policy: Select Whakakahore.
   • Protocols: Select Katoa.
   • Momo Puna: Whatunga. Tīpakohia Staff_VLAN10.
   • Destination Type: Whatunga. Tīpakohia LAN (for core network) and Customer_VLAN20.
   • Click 'Create'.
3. Create Customer VLAN 20 ACL Rule:
   • Click 'Create New Rule'.
   • Ingoa: Customer_VLAN20_ACL.
   • Status: Ensure Whakahohe ka tirohia.
   • Direction: Select LAN-LAN.
   • Policy: Select Whakakahore.
   • Protocols: Select Katoa.
   • Momo Puna: Whatunga. Tīpakohia Customer_VLAN20.
   • Destination Type: Whatunga. Tīpakohia LAN (for core network) and Staff_VLAN10.
   • Click 'Create'.

These ACL rules ensure that staff and customer networks are isolated from each other and from the core network, enhancing overall security.
