Field
Description
Enable captive portal
You must enable this option system-wide if you want to configure Captive
Portal on any ESSID.
VLAN
Set the Captive Portal VLAN. When ESSID is set to be Captive Portal
restricted, the ESSID VLAN is automatically set to this VLAN.
Secured Login
Set the type of authentication - either None, Remote, or Local.
None enables the Captive Portal without authentication of the client.
Remote authentication requires selection of a RADIUS server and an
Authentication Protocol (PAP or CHAP).
Force SSL (HTTPS)
When this option is selected, any client that attempts to connect using
http: will be redirected to SSL (https:) communication.
If this feature is not activated, the type of session will depend solely on
the protocol (http:// or https://) specified at the beginning of the URL
string entered into the client’s browser.
Multiple Clients Per
User
Enables multiple simultaneous client connections with the same user
name and password via the portal.
Force Login on Reassociation
Configure login without authentication on re-association.
Pre-Authentication
Allowed Destination
(Walled Garden)
You can define a list of up to 10 free access network destinations (10
rules). WLAN clients associated to the captive portal restricted ESSID can
reach these destinations without going through the Captive portal
authentication process.
A network destination (a rule) is defined by an IP address, subnet mask,
port numbers, and an Internet Protocol (TCP, UDP, ICMP).
It is advised to define free access to the DHCP server on port 67 using
Broadcast and to the DNS server on port 53 using Unicast, as in the
following example:
Additional Networks
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Port
Numbers
Protocol
0.0.0.0
0.0.0.0
67
All
192.168.1.5
255.255.255.255
53
All
You may add trusted networks by specifying a subnet along with its
netmask for each such network. It is advised to define the network used
by the ESSID with the Portal authentication, as in the following example:
Subnet
Netmask
192.168.1.0
255.255.255.0
