Instance Configuration
You can create up to two Captive Portal instances; each CP instance is a defined set of instance
parameters. Instances can be associated with one or more VAPs. Different instances can be
configured to respond differently to users as they attempt to access the associated VAP.
NOTE Before you create an instance, review these bullets first:
• Do you need to add a new VAP? If yes, go to Networks to add a VAP.
• Do you need to add a new group? If yes, go to Local Groups to add a group.
• Do you need to add a new user? If yes, go to Local Users to add a user.
To create a CP instance and configure its settings:
STEP 1 Select Captive Portal > Instance Configuration in the navigation pane.
STEP 2 Ensure that Create is selected from the Captive Portal Instances list.
STEP 3 Enter an Instance Name and click Save. The instance name can include from 1 to 32
alphanumeric characters and the underscore.
