4.12.1.3 Configuring an Advanced Hotspot
A customer may wish to use advanced Web content (XML, Flash) but might not have (or would not want to
use) an external Web server, choosing instead to host the Web pages on the switch's HTTP Web server.
Selecting the Advanced option allows for importing the Web pages from an external source (like an FTP
server) and hosting them on the switch.
To use the Advanced option to define the wired hotspot:
1. Select Network > Wired Hotspot from the main menu tree.
2. Select an existing hotspot entry from those displayed within the Configuration tab.
NOTE: When using hotspot features in a cluster environment, additional steps must be
taken when specifying the external URLs. In order for the browser to return the login
iinformation correctly, the IP address and port must be specified as part of the URL in the
following format:
http://external_url<login | welcome | fail>.html?ip_address=a.b.c.d&port=x
NOTE: If the Web-server is located on a VLAN other than the one on which the MUs will
be associated, specify the IP address for the VLAN on which the server is located within
the Allow List.
