Filename: reject_unauthvlan.html
The reject_unauthvlan.html file is the web page used to display login failures in
which an unauthenticated client is assigned to the VLAN configured for
unauthorized client sessions. You can configure the VLAN used by unautho-
rized clients with the unauthid parameter (see page
3-49).
When a client’s web browser sends a request for an HTML file, a web server
passes the response to the switch, which replaces the ESI call in the
accept.html file with plain text.
The WAUTHREDIRECTTIMEGET ESI inserts the value for the waiting time
used by the switch to redirect an unauthenticated client while the client
renews its IP address and gains access to the VLAN for unauthorized clients.
