Cisco Small Business WAP121 and WAP321 Wireless-N Access Point with PoE 143
Captive Portal
This chapter describes the Captive Portal (CP) feature, which allows you to block
wireless clients from accessing the network until user verification has been
established. You can configure CP verification to allow access for both guest and
authenticated users.
NOTE The Captive Portal feature is available only on the Cisco WAP321 device.
Authenticated users must be validated against a database of authorized Captive
Portal groups or users before access is granted. The database can be stored
locally on the WAP device or on a RADIUS server.
Captive Portal consists of two CP instances. Each instance can be configured
independently, with different verification methods for each VAP or SSID. Cisco
WAP321 devices operate concurrently with some VAPs configured for CP
authentication and other VAPs configured for normal wireless authentication
methods, such as WPA or WPA Enterprise.
This chapter includes these topics:
• Captive Portal Global Configuration
• Instance Configuration
• Instance Association
• Web Portal Customization
