Configuring Captive Portal Session Parameters

When 802.1x is enabled for the port, the default session time limit and retry count values are automati-
cally applied to any Captive Portal session initiated on the port. As a result, it is only necessary to config-
ure these parameters if the default values are not sufficient.
The 802.1x captive-portal session-limit
Portal session remains active after a successful login. At the end of this time, the user is automatically
logged out of the session and no longer has network access. By default, the session limit is set to 12 hours.
To allow a user to remain logged in for an indefinite amount of time, specify 0 for this parameter value.
-> 802.1x 1/10 captive-portal session-limit 0
The 802.1x captive-portal retry-count
user can try to login through the Captive Portal login web page. When this limit is reached without achiev-
ing a successful login, the fail case of the Captive Portal device classification policy configured for the
802.1x port is applied to the user device. The default login retry count is set to 3. To specify an unlimited
amount of login retries, specify 0 for this parameter value.
-> 802.1x 1/10 captive-portal retry-count 0
Use the show 802.1x
example of this command is available in the
