Patent number: 11399283Abstract: Systems and methods provide for provisioning network access using a tenant service set identifier (SSID) or an SSID of a specified duration and distributed authorization. A network management system can provision a wireless local area network (WLAN) and the SSID in an access point to enable a primary guest device to access the WLAN for a specified time period (e.g., a start time and end time). The network management system can cause the SSID and authentication data (e.g., authentication token, Pre-Shared Key (PSK), etc.) to be transmitted for receipt by the first client device. After the start time and in response to successfully authenticating the first client device, the first client device can authorize a second client device to access the WLAN. The network management system or the AP can disable access to the network via the SSID at the end time.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2019Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Swaminathan Anantha, Mickael James Graham, Anvesh Reddy Podduturi
