2504 wireless controller - turn off / disable options during off peak hours

[prasath_tt]

       I'm configuring a 2504 wireless controller with # of 1142 APs, wondering is there an option to turn off the WLC/ APs during after ofice hours? such as turn off power/RF options etc

There is not an option from the wlc. You can maybe use a pdu to power off the wlc on a schedule. I know some switches support shutting PoE ports if you want.

no option on wlc. you can achieve this however if you have WCS or NCS.

What about a "time" ACL on your swicths to do a SHUT to your APs.

I'm not sure about that George.. we have a hp5412zl where the Aps are connected..

is it possible to shut off the ports for a period of time?

If you have WCS / NCS, you could push a template to the controllers. Not sure about the HP swicthes, I have limited experience with those. On Cisco you can you do a time ACL.
