WLAN-Guest and WLAN-Company Devices customer requirements

[Jonathan_Galvez]

Hi Team,

just made a telco with a customer and they through me some questions, which I couldn't answer, hope you can help me 🙂

WLAN-Guest.

If we use Ambassador Accounts:

What happen with the user, when the authorized time is expired? Will the automatic deleted or remain in Meraki as a User with the same username/psw until the Ambassador authorized the account again?

WLAN-Company devices:

They do not want to use PSK and only allow company devices to use WLAN. They do not have RADIUS Server and Group Policy manual change is also not an option. Is there any posibility maybe with certificates/Active Directory/ Azure...that only company devices are allowed to use WLAN?

Many thanks and regards,

Jonathan

For the Guest network, users will not be deleted but will be deactivated.

For the corporate network there are several possibilities, the most common is 802.1x, but in those cases you need a Radius server and the same goes for 802.1x with a certificate, you will still need a Radius server.

Another possibility is 802.1x but using Meraki's own base, of course you will have to register users in the dashboard.

You can easily find more explanations on the Meraki documentation.
