Want to auto change the guest wifi ssid password frequently.

[Mahadi Hasan]

Hello and Greetings!

In our  environment, we've created two different VLANs for office employee (VLAN 1) and guest (VLAN 40).Also created two different WLANs and SSIDs in WLC 9800  to completely separate the guest network from office network where guest wifi is using PSK method. It is working nicely! In controller we didn't use the dedicated guest option rather than  we created completely different valn and different gateway as mentioned. But we want to auto change the Guest wifi's password daily. Now my question is how can I auto change the guest wifi password daily basis. Is it possible from controller?

Hi @Mahadi Hasan 

 There's not such possibility in Cisco WLC. The only way to do this is manually.

Why not use Captive Portal?

You can automate this PSK change using python and a scheduled task in Windows/Linux server, or manually running it.

Hi @Mahadi Hasan,

I would have a look at Cisco ISE and the Guest Portals it offers. It's scalable and gives you a lot of more options that you seems to be looking for. You can have a Self Registration Portal, Sponsor Portals and HotSpot portals. It's a 90 day free trial that is really worth checking out.
