Parameters
server-name: Specifies the name of the portal server, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 32 characters.
ip ip-address: Specifies the IP address of the portal server. If you specify the local portal server, the IP
address specified must be that of a Layer 3 interface on the device and must be reachable from the portal
clients. In portal stateful failover environments, however, HP recommends specifying the virtual IP address
of the VRRP group to which the downlink belongs.
key key-string: Specifies the shared key for communication with the portal server, a case-sensitive string
of 1 to 16 characters. Portal packets exchanged between the access device and the portal server carry
an authenticator, which is generated with the shared key. The receiver uses the authenticator to check the
correctness of the received portal packets.
port port-id: Specifies the destination port number used when the device sends an unsolicited message
to the portal server, in the range of 1 to 65534. The default is 50100.
url url-string: Specifies the Uniform resource locator (URL) to which HTTP packets are to be redirected. The
default URL is in the http://ip-address format, where ip-address is the IP address of the portal server. You
can also specify the domain name of the portal server, in which case you need to use the portal free-rule
command to configure the IP address of the DNS server as a portal authentication-free destination IP
address.
vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies the MPLS L3VPN to which the portal server belongs.
vpn-instance-name is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. If the portal server is on the public
network, do not specify this option.
Description
Use the portal server command to configure a portal server for Layer 3 portal authentication.
Use the undo portal server command to remove a portal server, restore the default destination port and
default URL address, or delete the shared key or the VPN instance configuration.
By default, no portal server is configured for Layer 3 portal authentication.
If the specified portal server exists and no user is on the interfaces referencing the portal server, using the
undo portal server server-name command removes the specified portal server, and if keyword port, or url
is also provided, the command will restore the destination port number or URL address to the default.
The configured portal server and its parameters can be removed or modified only when the portal server
is not referenced by an interface. To remove or modify the settings of a portal server that has been
referenced by an interface, you must first remove the portal configuration on the interface by using the
undo portal command.
