iPads change networks (SSID) automatically

[saleff]

                   We are using cisco 3502i AP's and 5508 controler. We have two SSID's. "SA Wireless" and "Guest Wireless". SA Wireless is WPA2 enterprise security and the "Guest Wireless" is open. The iPads will disconnect from "SA Wireless" and join "Guest Wireless" at random. Is there a way to force them to stay on "SA Wireless" and only change if you actually tell the iPad to change?

Thanks

Not really.  Not unless you tell your users to stay off the guest network.

Once teh device has a profile configured, it will choose which one to join.  So you can remove the Guest Wireless profile, but once they manually choose to join, it will be there again, and back to square one.

On your Guest are you doing webauth?  You can configure the webauth (AAA config) to deny a 'corporate' user.

HTH,
Steve
