2504 guest user lifetime

[cantrell.mike]

I have a 2504 WLC and need to know how to make my guest users lifetime more than 30 days

[Sandeep Choudhary]

Hi,

Only with wlc, you can not make a lifetime for 30 days for a guest user.

it can be maximum for 24 hours not more then that and after that he must have to login again.

Check this timeout settings:

I hope this is what you wanted to know, if anything else then please clarify.

I am greating the guest under Local Net Users

Did you try to put Lifetime in seconds(5184000) --> this is for 60 days

If you cant do this then there is No other way to do more then 30 days with wlc.

Either you must use Prime infra or ISE server to make it more.

I would like to keep it simple using on the WLC. It is just for a small number of guests.

 I have reviewed this article and it does not work on my 2504

Guest user with the latest code is max 30 days. If you want a user to be lifetime, then you need to add the user not as a guest but a regular wireless user. These types of users don't expire, but lobby admin will not be able to add these types of users, only guest.

I know how to make them lifetime however I would like to set up a user for 90 days.

[Scott Fella]

30 days is max...

You could always contact your local Cisco SE and have a feature request put in.  How long that would take and if they even entertain it is a different story.  Your only solution is to add or extend that guest account every 30 days.

Will this same problem happen on 5508 and 8510?
