create guest account on WLC 2106 using ip phone screen

francis.labelle · ‎05-06-2009

Hi, we are looking for a solution enable us to create guest account on our wlc2106, from the xml screen of the cisco ip phone. Does somebody know a company who sold that kind of solution ?

Does somebody have an API to talk with the WLC ?

Thanks !

Hi Francis,

I haven't seen a commercial app to do exactly that. You could probably call the lobby ambassador functions from WCS from the phone (via browser or wcs api).

If it were me and I was looking for something easy to do, I would write a quick front end on the phone to an external server that just adds it to your guest WLCs via snmp (same way WCS would do it).

If you dig around 1.3.6.1.4.1.14179.2.5.10.1.24 in the mib, you can set users this way. I did a quick capture of WCS adding a user, it looks like it would be pretty easy to re-create with a script that you could call.
