13.3.29 Captive Portal
Access Point Statistics
A captive portal forces a HTTP client to use a special Web page for authentication before using the Internet. A captive portal
turns a Web browser into a client authenticator. This is done by intercepting packets regardless of the address or port, until the
user opens a browser and tries to access the Internet. At that time, the browser is redirected to a Web page.
To view the captive portal statistics of an access point:
1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
2. Select System from the navigation pane (on the left-hand side of the screen). Expand a RF Domain and select one of its
connected access points.
3. Select Captive Portal.
