Sonicwave 621 | Legacy SonicPoint VAP "scheduled" access times for a specific SSID
Acknowledging that Sonicwave 621 units can currently only be managed by WNM, is there any way to create an SSID with "scheduled" access times. Specifically blocking access on a given SSID say from 11pm till 6am??
We have a facility that made use of that type of functionality provided with VAP objects.
I am hoping I have overlooked something easy. At this point I would embrace a convoluted work around if needs be; Facility Managers absolutely want ability to schedule "Guest" access.
If not, is it possible to submit a product enhancement request?
FYI - the new radios are a huge improvement over the Legacy SonicPoints that were replaced.
Best regards, Kelly Keith

You cannot BLOCK the 11 pm to 6 am slot. What you can do is create the ALLOW 6 am to 11 pm slot.
I have an open case with SonicWall (for two years) about WNM scheduling not respecting Daylight Savings Time. You'll have to test this "in production" at your location to see if you need to manually alter the hours of operation.

Thanks much!
WNM is, well new to me. Or, I am new to WNM; a bit of both, to be sure.
Again, thanks so much for the pointer. Once I was able to create a corresponding "Schedule" object, applying that schedule and a suitable Content Filter to a facility specific SSID became my next steps.
