Configuring External Captive Portal for Guest Network
13.5.1
External Captive Portal Profiles
You can now configure external captive portal profiles and associate these profiles to a user
role or SSID. You can create a set of captive portal profiles in the
External Captive Portal
window (accessed from the
Security
tab) and associate these profiles with an SSID or a
wired profile. You can also create a new captive portal profile on the
Security
tab of the
WLAN wizard or a Wired Network window. In the current release, you can configure up to 16
external captive portal profiles.
When the captive portal profile is associated to an SSID, it is used before user
authentication. If the profile is associated to a role, it is used only after the user
authentication. When a captive portal profile is applied to an SSID or wired profile, the users
connecting to the SSID or wired network are assigned a role with the captive portal rule. The
guest user role allows only DNS and DHCP traffic between the client and the network, and
directs all HTTP or HTTPS requests to the captive portal unless explicitly permitted to allow
all types of traffic.
