Scheduling VNS to be on or off

rhaviland1 — Tue, 15 Sep 2015 20:21:00 GMT

I have a customer that needs a VNS created but they want it to "turn off" during specific hours. I've done this with another brand but not Extreme wireless.

Basically I had a timer on the SSID and the user profile. Between certain hours on certain days the SSID would not show and the profile disabled.

Any quick pointers?

The only way to do this in the current GA code...

Of if you are using 802.1x services you can typically setup a day/time restriction on the RADIUS server.

So using a Linux box is the only option? Nothing native to NMS or the controller?

Correct, no native support.
