Web Authentication - D-Link DXS-3600 Series Reference Manual

DXS-3600 Series Layer 3 Managed 10Gigabit Ethernet Switch Web UI Reference Guide
•
Certain functions exist on the Switch that will filter HTTP packets, such as the Access Profile
function. The user needs to be very careful when setting filter functions for the target VLAN, so that
these HTTP packets are not denied by the Switch.
•
If a RADIUS server is to be used for authentication, the user must first establish a RADIUS Server
with the appropriate parameters, including the target VLAN, before enabling Web Authentication on
the Switch.

Description

state.
Select to enable or disable the Web authentication feature's 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.
