Web and MAC Authentication
Configuring the Switch To Access a RADIUS Server
Configuring a DNS Server for Enhanced Web
Authentication
If you use a host name to configure access to a web server on which custom-
ized login web pages are stored, you must first configure a Domain Name
System (DNS) server to resolve the web server’s host name into a target IP
address. (If you specify an IP address to configure a web server, it is not
necessary to configure a DNS server.)
For example, the following web-server host name requires the configuration
of a DNS server to resolve the host (
webserver1) and domain name
(
accounts.procurve.com) into a target IP address:
http://webserver1.accounts.procurve.com
To configure switch access to a DNS server to support the use of a host name
in the aaa port-access web-based ewa server command, follow the instructions
in the “Diagnostic Tools” section in the Troubleshooting chapter of the Man-
agement and Configuration Guide.
