Schedule WLAN availablity using WLC

[touqeer26]

Hi everyone,

How can I specify time for WLANs using WLC or some other means so that they are only available during certain period of time.

For example, I need Guest Wireless Network to be available only from 8am to 6pm on all WLAP1142.

Thanks,

You'll need to use the WCS.

I see.

Thanks for your reply.

Well the client is not willing to go for WCS. Is there any other direct or indirect way to stop users from joing the network at specified time.

I've DHCP for all WLANs and users on the distribution switch. All WLANs map to their corresponding VLANs. I think I'll have to be a little creative here, but if there is a way to do this please let me know.

Thanks,

Ok, since you can't "configure" the APs individually then if you have Cisco switches you can configure EEM (Embedded Event Manager).  Another option is to use RADIUS.
