Guest WiFi automatic connect

[debascx]

Hi, I would like to configure the guest wifi in our company like this. The guest devices connect automatically with the guest SSID and are forwarded to the sponsor portal. Only I can't find a setting how the device automatically connects to the guest SSID.

Hi there,

Automatic connection on client devices is managed on the operating systems, not in the WLAN infrastructure.

Then, to be automatically redirected to sponsor or captive portal, you need to set up Central Web Authenttication (CWA) accordly depending if your controller is running AireOS (/https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/identity-services-engine/115732-central-web-auth-00.html) or IOS-XE (https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/catalyst-9800-series-wireless-controllers/213920-central-web-authentication-cwa-on-cata.html).

To add to what Jesus has mentioned, you have the option of integrating your devices with DNA Spaces if you need a cloud managed Captive Portal solution or you also have the option of running LWA, where the Captive portal will be hosted in the controller itself locally. However CWA using ISE or some other vendor is recommended if you are looking for a more comprehensive solution
