The fields that can be configured are described below:
Parameter Description
WAC Global State
Use this selection menu to either enable or disable the Web Authentication on the
Switch.
Virtual IP
Enter a virtual IP address. This address is only used by WAC and is not known by
any other modules of the Switch.
Method
Use this drop-down menu to choose the authenticator for Web-based Access
Control. The user may choose:
Local – Choose this parameter to use the local authentication method of the Switch
as the authenticating method for users trying to access the network via the switch.
This is, in fact, the username and password to access the Switch configured using
the WAC User Settings window (Security > Web-based Access Control > WAC
User Settings) seen below.
RADIUS – Choose this parameter to use a remote RADIUS server as the
authenticating method for users trying to access the network via the switch. This
RADIUS server must have already been pre-assigned by the administrator using the
Authentication RADIUS Server Settings window (Security > RADIUS >
Authentication RADIUS Server Settings).
Redirection Path
Enter the URL of the website that authenticated users placed in the VLAN are
directed to once authenticated.
Clear Redirection Path
The user can enable or disable this option to clear the redirection path.
RADIUS Authorization
The user can enable or disable this option to enable RADIUS Authorization or not.
Local Authorization
The user can enable or disable this option to enable Local Authorization or not.
HTTP(S) Port (1-65535) Enter a HTTP port number. Port 80 is the default.
HTTP – Specifies that the TCP port will run the WAC HTTP protocol. The default
value is 80. HTTP port cannot run at TCP port 443.
HTTPS – Specifies that the TCP port will run the WAC HTTPS protocol. The default
value is 443. HTTPS cannot run at TCP port 80.
Click the Apply button to accept the changes made for each individual section.
NOTE: A successful authentication should direct the client to the stated web page. If the client does
not reach this web page, yet does not receive a Fail! Message, the client will already be
authenticated and therefore should refresh the current browser window or attempt to open a
different web page.
