IP addressing
Clients that connect to the Secure Wireless network will receive an IP address on private space. For access to resources on the Internet, traffic will look like it's coming from the IP address of the wireless controller which will be based on 130.64 network space. For services that live within the 130.64 netblock (such as Trunk and Exchange) there will be no manipulation of IP addressing.
Firewall
Clients that connect to the Secure Wireless network will automatically be put behind a firewall.
