When to use a schedule on an SSID?

It is common to want to set a schedule for broadcasting WiFi on guest networks, especially to avoid unnecessary connections during specific hours. For example, in a department store or a clinic, there is no need to have the WiFi signal active when the establishment is closed.

Configuration

Note: This configuration is applicable to Ruijie devices (red family) and does not apply to Ruijie|Reyee devices (blue family).

Local Configuration

For local configuration, it is necessary to access the access point from a web browser with the IP address and then go to Maintenance > System > Web CLI.

In the "Command Input" section, enter the following commands:

configure terminal
schedule session 2
schedule session 2 time-range 1 period Sun to Sat time 11:15 to 11:25
dot11 wlan 1
schedule session 2
exit
exit
wr

In this case, a schedule is set up where it is established that from Sunday to Saturday (period Sun to Sat), from 11:15 to 11:25 hours (time 11:15 to 11:25), the SSID will be turned off. Once that time has elapsed, it will be turned on again.

In dot11 wlan 1, the SSID ID to which this policy should be applied must be specified.

The commands look as follows:

Cloud Configuration

To configure it in the cloud, select the device and access Web CLI > Web CLI.

configure terminal
schedule session 2
schedule session 2 time-range 1 period Sun to Sat time 11:15 to 11:25
dot11 wlan 1
schedule session 2
exit
exit
wr

The commands applied in the cloud Web CLI look as follows:
