Cisco Small Business WAP551 and WAP561 Wireless-N Access Point 138
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.
NOTE The Captive Portal feature is available on the WAP5xx devices and 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 WAP551 and
WAP561 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.
