Onboarding Policy

Onboarding policies are used by ExtremeGuest Essentials to give flexibility when determining hotspot user access. Policies are matched to the hotspot user based on onboarding rules. Then the matching policy with the highest precedence number is used to onboard the hotspot user.

To create an onboarding policy:

  1. From the main menu, go to Configure > Onboarding > Policy.
    The Onboarding Policy screen displays. This screen displays existing onboarding policies and their basic configuration. Double-click each policy to view the detailed configuration. Review the configuration details to determine if the policy warrants modification or removal.
