Configuring Captive Portal profiles

A Captive Portal profile is an instance of a specific Captive Portal configuration set. It specifies
global attributes to customize Captive Portal interfaces, session timeout (for example,
authentication session timeout) and usage limits for users. You can store image files for
customizing the Captive Portal login page on a TFTP server, and specify the TFTP server IP
address in a Captive Portal profile. The controller (WC 8180) provides a way to protect the
wireless system IP address from guest user access using Captive Portal profiles.
The Captive Portal IP address is used for Captive Portal user access. All Captive Portal user
clients send HTTP/HTTPS GET requests to this IP address which is then mapped to a Web
host name internally. The client HTTP/HTTPS GET requests are load-balanced based on the
client MAC address.
Note:
The Captive Portal IP address must be an active VLAN interface IP on any controller in the
domain, except the Management VLAN IP, the System VLAN IP, or the wireless interface
IP of that controller. The Captive Portal IP must exist physically in one of the domain
controllers.
Note:
The current release of WLAN 8100 allows you to configure up to 8 Captive Portal IP
addresses for a single Captive Portal profile. Avaya recommends that you configure as many
Captive Portal IP addresses for a Captive Portal profile as there are controllers in the domain.
For example, if there are 8 controllers in the domain, configure up to 8 Captive Portal IP
addresses for a single Captive Portal profile.
