hello

trying to streamline some of the tasks that the SD needs to do and looking for an way to auto-renew the Guest WIFI password every 30 days and send notification with the new password via email

Is that even possible with the current state of the product ?

We are using ExtremeCloud IQ Pilot

thanks

Hello WA,

What type of encryption/authentication are you using on said SSID?

Hello @WA,

There is no option to automatically schedule WPA2/CCMP PSK changes. Moreover, sending emails normally requires a user database which you don't have.

If this is something important to you, I'd suggest you contact your Extreme Networks account manager and ask them to create a Feature Request for same.

Alternatively, you may want to look into implementing PPSK: https://documentation.extremenetworks.com/XIQ/user_guide/GUID-B538DDF7-4845-4259-B87E-6EE60B3133AC.shtml
