Block two clients in night to access the WLAN

How do i setup, that two clients (laptop + surface) will be blocked from the WLAN during night (22:00 - 08:00).

Other clients will be able to connect the WLAN all time.

Thanks

You can create a Group Policy with a Schedule that denies traffic during the times that you want to block it.  That Group Policy then gets attached to those clients.

How do i set the time plan?

I need one plan from 22:00 - 24:00? And one plan for 0:00 - 08:00?

But then i can set only one client per gpo

Kind of a big deal

My gut feeling is that this is going to cause problems ...

 

But here are some thoughts:

  • Group policies can use a schedule, and for night hours the policy could use a quarantine vlan (not sure if it will work if the client is connected when the schedule kicks in)
  • An API script that changes the Group-Policy at the trigger times.
  • Use a dedicated WLAN for these clients that is disabled at night
  • If you use 802.1X, you could configure time constraints on the RADIUS server
  • Just block everything for these users on the upstream firewall at night
