MSM710 and controlling wired connections

I have guest that come into our boardroom. I'd like to be able to control when they plug into the ethernet port to send them out through one firewall and when our internal users plug into the same ports to keep them on our network. I thought maybe through an html login. Set up one user for guest and another for internal users. Based on the login they would be routed? I'm not sure this is the best way to do it or if it is possible. Any help would be appreciated.

I would deploy a wlan in the boardroom where two ssid's are deployed. One for internal based on 802.1x and 1 ssid for guests with html logon (provided by the 710). Advantage is that the guest services tunnels through your office lan directly to the controller.

Another possibility is to create a vlan on the wired network which ends up in the 710 controller (need some guest services config). In this you can show the same html login as via wlan.

Re: MSM710 and controlling wired connections

I already have the wlan setup. Some of our guest come in and want to connect with a cable.

I understand the need to have a guest and employee wired connection, but I don't know how.
