Description
Select to enable or disable the global Web authentication state.
Select to enable or disable the Web authentication trap state.
Enter the virtual IPv4 address used here. The virtual IP of Web authentication is
just the characterization of the Web authentication function on the Switch. All Web
authentication processes communicate with this IP address, however, the virtual
IP does not respond to any ICMP packet or ARP request. So it's not allowed to
configure virtual IP in the same subnet as the Switch's IP interface or the same
subnet as the host PCs' subnet, otherwise the Web authentication cannot operate
correctly. The defined URL only takes effect when the virtual IP address is
configured. The users get the FQDN URL stored on the DNS server to get the
virtual IP address. The obtained IP address must match the virtual IP address
configured by the command. If the IPv4 virtual IP is not configured, the IPv4
access cannot start a Web authentication.
Enter the virtual IPv6 address used here. If the IPv6 virtual IP is not configured,
the IPv6 access cannot start a Web authentication.
Enter the virtual URL used here. This URL can be up to 128 characters long.
Enter the redirection path here. This path can be up to 128 characters long.
