Hi,

Setting a specific web page for the clients everytime when they connect to the AP is not possible 
by using the AP only. AP only has the option to redirect all the client traffic to any other IP 
on the network and thenfurther the device associated to that IP can provide the Web page for the
clients that will be displayed on their client screens. That device can be a
BBSM(Building Broadband Service Manager) or a Cisco NAC Appliance.



As per the below link, BBSM is out of sale:

In order to configure a SSID/VLAN to open a particular website when any user
connects to it, you need to connect a BBSM(Building Broadband Service
Manager) or a Cisco NAC Appliance to any one of the Access ports on the
switch which is a part of that VLAN. We can configure the BBSM device or the
NAC device to open a specific webpage and after that we can configure the AP
to forward all the packets coming from client connected to that specific
SSID/VLAN to the IP address of the BBSM server with the help of "IP
redirect" command we can configure on the AP. Here is a document for the
same:

n/guide/s34ssid.html#wp1049571



Here is an application note about the list of APs which support IP redirection

ference/ipredir.html



Most of the cases that we have seen on "IP redirection" go way back to when
BBSM was available.  Nowadays, this is deployed using WLCs for the guest
access.



I hope the above answered your question.

Surendra
