Controllerless Networks

Hi All,

We're having some challenges restricting Guest Wi-Fi in managed endpoints. It's MAAUTH with Captive portal redirection. We use IAP 555 and Clear Pass. What's the best way to achieve this ?

Thanks, Arun

Not fully sure what you want to restrict and what you tried already. Here is some guidance on how to set up Instant AP with ClearPass Guest.

If you are talking about mobile devices and blacklisting/restricting Guest Access, this will be a challenge due to Random MAC implemented in Mobile Devices. Thing is that for WiFi, if one user wants to bypass your Restricted MAC Address which you have blacklisted, can easily just do a "Forget Network" and reconnect, which will lead to generating another Random MAC.

However, if you could provide more details to your requirements, because it is not clearly what you are willing to achieve, maybe we all could give better options to achieve what you are looking for.
