Enabling Portal Authentication; Enabling Layer 2 Portal Authentication - HP 3600 v2 Series Configuration Manual

When you specify the protocol for the local portal server to support, the local portal server will load the
default authentication page file, which is supposed to be saved in the root directory of the device.
Therefore, to make sure that the local portal server uses the user-defined default authentication pages,
you must edit and save them properly. Otherwise, the system default authentication pages are used.
Configuration procedure
To configure the local portal server:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure the protocol type
for the local portal server to
support and load the default
authentication page file.
3. Configure the welcome
banner of the default
authentication pages of the
local portal server.

Enabling portal authentication

Only after you enable portal authentication on an access interface, can the access interface perform
portal authentication for connected clients.
