WCS - Time of day access to vlans

dyorke0403 · ‎12-17-2007

I am running a 4402 controller, wireless location device and WCS. I have setup a Guest Vlan that is restricted with a ACL. Is there a way to restrict / turn off the Guest Vlan during certain hours of the day? Either through the WCS, controller or our 6509 Router? Any thoughts on this one are appreciated.

Hi Daniel,

You can set "time based" rules on the ACL that will restrict when access is permitted;

Hope this helps!

Thanks! You set me in the right direction. I negelected to mention that I was running the AP in lightweight mode. Programming an ACL on the Ap is impossible and while I have an ACL applied through the controller it appears you cannot program in a "time based" rule. So I made a timebased ACL entry on the router and applied to the VLAN, on the router. It's working great. Thanks again!
