Nebula [AP] - How to setup DHCP & NAT Mode in Access Point

• If the AP management IP address is NOT part of “10.0.0.0/8”, SSID subnet becomes “10.0.0.0/8”.
• If the AP management IP address is part of “10.0.0.0/8”, SSID subnet becomes “172.16.0.0/12”

Sample scenario:

• Enable NAT mode on the SSID which is provided for Guest usage.

Configuration: 

Go to Site-wide -> Configure -> WiFi SSID settings

• Click the "Add SSID Network" button.
• Provide a clear and comprehensible name for the SSID (Network Name).
• Toggle the network switch to "Enabled" the newly created network.
• Click the "Save" button to confirm your settings.
• Access the "SSID Advanced Settings" by clicking on the "Edit" option within that section

• After clicking on "Edit" you will be forwarded to the next page "SSID advanced settings"

Site-wide -> Configure -> Access points -> SSID advanced settings

• In the "Traffic options" section, check the "NAT mode" box to activate this function.

A list of access points that support this functionality is available at the link in Nebula (NAT mode Model list).

• In the "Security options" section, you can immediately configure authentication if necessary.

• After making all changes, click "Back" and click "Save" for all changes to take effect.
