Schedule certain APs to stop broadcasting one SSID from ap group

[DrDr]

Hi,

I would like to schedule that some AP:s stop broadcasting our guest SSID after office hours and then start broadcasting it again during office hours. 

Now this would be pretty simple but we don't want the AP:s to reboot everyday so we can't just use two different AP-groups and schedule the change from one and another.
I only want to disable the guest SSID(after office hours) on a few different locations, not all of the locations that use the same AP-group.

What if I create a new AP-group, use that on these locations and then schedule CLI commands to remove the guest SSID from that AP-group in the evening and then another schedule to add the guest SSID back to the AP-group which will be run early mornings. This way the AP won't restart.
Anyeone see in risks or negatives doing it this way?

I'm thinking about scheduling this via Cisco Prime. Is there any other way, possibly more reliable? 

We're using Cisco 8540 Wireless Controller with Software version 8.3.143.0 and Cisco Prime 3.4.0.0.348

I'm looking for ideas on how to accomplish this the best possible way or feedback on my suggestions.
Thanks

Personally you need to make some script for this (not sure - but you need to test) Prime you can do that.

You need to make different Groups allocate the AP in to that Group what you looking to achieve.

If you move the AP to different Group - i believe AP may reboot. required some testing here.

Hi,

That is not possible. The setting for broadcast is global and can't be defined on a per ap basis..

Schedule SSID Broadcast enable/Disable using Prime - On Global

I'm not looking to disable it globally, that's why I suggested scheduling the removal of the guest SSID(and adding it) from the AP-group these APs are using.

This is done in prime.
First, I make my own CLI template with this command that will remove the guest SSID from the AP-group.
config wlan apgroup interface-mapping delete <AP Group> <WLAN ID>

This command is scheduled to be executed on the WLC everyday after business hours.

Second, I make another CLI template with this command that will add the guest SSID to the AP-group.
config wlan apgroup interface-mapping add <AP Group> <WLAN ID> <Dynamic Interface>

I schedule this command to the executed on the WLC everyday early morning.

I welcome more ideas and/or feedback on my suggestion.
