Guest Management Policy

A guest management policy redirects guest users to a registration portal upon association with the captive portal SSID. The guest users are redirected to a registration page (registration.html)—hosted internally or externally—where the guest user can complete the registration process if the user has not previously registered. The internal captive portal adds a new registration page that is customizable based on business requirements.

A guest management policy configuration sets the E-mail host and SMS gateway related commands along with the credentials required for sending a passcode to a guest through email and SMS. Configure up to 32 different guest management policies. Each guest management policy allows an administrator to configure the SMS gateway, SMS message body, E-mail SMTP server, E-mail subject contents, and E-mail message body. There can be only one guest management policy active for each device.

Guest registration is supported on NX9000 series service platforms and the CX9000 and VX9000 virtual platforms as an adopting controller with up to 2 million user identity entries. Guest registration is supported on NX 7500 series service platforms as an adopting controller with up to 1 million user identity entries.

Note

An option to backup the guest registration configuration is not available in the user interface. To backup the guest user database, a guest-databasebackup command must be invoked using the CLI. For more information, refer to the WiNG CLI Reference Guide.
