Automatically getting connected on Free WiFi SSID - Cisco 9800

waqas.khan · ‎07-26-2022

Hello Team,

I am looking for your suggestions / config recommendations to get automatic popup on mobile to connect on free WiFi SSID . Currently Mobile client has to open Wifi and select the GUEST SSID and then complete the remaining process of authentication which is normal. But what i have noticed in one of Mall , i got Popup on my mobile to connect on one of the free SSID and when we are clicking on popup , we are going to authentication portal page so do we have some config tweaks to do that as i might be missing something here but i am looking for your suggestions and recommendations.Is it end device feature or some config part which we can tweak?.

Thanks

Hard to say without detail but this sounds like Passpoint and/or OpenRoaming (which is based on Passpoint). Both can be configured on 9800 and both require back-end systems to support them.
