Wireless 5508 controller - Guest Wlan time of day restrictions ?

dclee — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 03:51:38 GMT

Looking to add time of day restrictions to our Guest WLAN that is currently in its pilot phase.

Is there a way to config time of day access to a WLAN ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Dave

On the WLC directly, there is not currentlya method to do so. IF you are authenticating your guest users via AD/ACS/ISE, then you can set a day/night restriction on the user account there.

Dave,

There is nothing in the controller that allows you to do this... However you can achive this in a few manners..

1) Time ACL on the vlan. But your guest ssid will still be shown.

2) If you have WCS you can schedule a WLAN enable/disable with a template. This is what some of my customers use. They will create a template that triggers at 6pm to disable the wlan and at 7am enable the wlan.

I hope this helps.

Thanks George, I installed WCS and configured the template. Seems to work just fine.

Much appreciated.

No worries... There is always a way around everything. If you wouldn't mind, can you mark this as answered ?

How is this Template created? Can it be created on a recurring schedule? I can't seem to find the solution

Thanks!

Hi Craig,

Welcome to CSC.

You can find this in the WCS guide under manage wlan status schedules
