Configuring Port Web Authentication (PWA)

About PWA

PWA provides a way of authenticating users before allowing general access to the network
To log on using PWA, the user makes a request through a web browser for the PWA web page or
is automatically redirected to this login page after requesting a URL in a browser.
Depending upon the authenticated state of the user, a login page or a logout page will display.
When a user submits username and password, the switch then authenticates the user via a
preconfigured RADIUS server. If the login is successful, then the user will be granted full network
access according to the user's policy configuration on the switch.
