Connecting the Raspberry Pi to our guest network

[andyturpie]

Afternoon All,

 

We have a suite of 19 PIs connected via KVM to our Viglen Integras. Our school also has a guest WiFi network (Controller-less Aruba) which we would like to connect the PIs to via the Wi Pi adapters, however we have been told by the ICT teacher (Still need to see this to confirm) that issue is either with getting to the landing page (authentication) or the browser automatically opening another page post authentication (we are still unsure of which is the issue until we are shown).

 

Has anyone else had an issue similar or know a way to resolve this?

 

If I can turn up with a few ideas then it would be a great start!

 

Thank you!

Using vlans ?

 

if so you need to specify the vlan in /etc/network/interfaces

 

like this

 

auto eth0.vlanID
iface eth0.vlanID inet static 
address 192.etc
netmask 255.etc
gateway yourgateway

or just DHCP by using

iface eth0.vlanID inet DHCP

Thanks Caffrey - Yes we have VLANS set up. I presumed there would be some additional config setting somewhere. As I have no PI experience myself, this helps me a great deal - thank you!

Use nano to edit the network config e.g.

 

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Have you tried the obvious and used the desktop wifi config program to see what happens - its got lots of options in there

 

I don't have any fancy WiFi VLAN stuff myself so can't help
