We are doing the same as Tim using ISE except we give the user five days of 
access. We also have a sponsor portal that some of our trusted LAN Managers can 
access to give certain guest users access for up to 45 days. This covers large 
camps and conferences.

We treat all wireless as outside entities and block all peer-to-peer. We are 
also very happy with the solution.

We wanted to eliminate the administrative hassle of guests so we followed a 
model which I think many instructions are following to some degree.   We 
created a self-registration portal that is on an open SSID.  They register and 
are sent an sms and email message which contains a password code to get on for 
24 hours.   It has worked very well and I now have minimal involvement.   We 
think it is reasonable in terms of CALEA in case anyone really cares about that.

We pretty much just ask for full name, cell number, and personal email address. 
  We block our domain addresses from using it.  We do restrict it to certain 
protocols and a bandwidth limit.   In over a year, I  only had one protocol 
complaint which I simply added to the capabilities since I agreed it was a 
reasonable one to allow.   Given how few complaints I have had and how many 
connect to it, I am happy with it as a solution.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] About the Guest wireless network and account

Dear All

We are doing research for the wireless Guest network. Currently, we create temp 
employee account for the Guests in our AD and using a separate captive portal 
for the Guest login. For the group Guests (e.g. external event), we allow them 
to share the same guest account.

However, we found that it’s not easy to manage and track the temp wireless 
guest accounts. Could you please share how your institute setup and manage the 
wireless guest network and the accounts?

​​​​​Thank you, and have a good afternoon.

Yours,
