Parameters

ipv6-address: Specifies the IP address of the IPv6 portal authentication server.

vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies the MPLS L3VPN where the portal authentication server

resides by the VPN instance name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. If the portal

authentication server is on the public network, do not specify this option.

key: Specifies a shared key for communication with the portal authentication server. Portal packets

exchanged between the access device and the portal authentication server carry an authenticator that is

generated with the shared key. The receiver uses the authenticator to check the correctness of the

received portal packets.

cipher: Sets a ciphertext shared key.

simple: Sets a plaintext shared key.

key-string: Specifies the shared key. A plaintext shared key is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 64 characters.

A ciphertext shared key is a case-sensitive string of 33 to 117 ch ar a c t e rs .

Usage guidelines

A portal authentication server has only one IP address. Therefore in portal authentication server view,

only one IP address exists. A newly configured IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) overrides the old address.

Do not configure the same IP address and MPLS L3VPN for different portal authentication servers.

For security purposes, all keys, including keys specified in plain text, are saved in cipher text.

Examples

# Configure the IP address of IPv6 portal authentication server pts as 2000::1 and the plaintext key as

portal.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] portal server pts

[Sysname-portal-server-pts] ipv6 2000::1 key simple portal
