Cisco Small Business WAP121 and WAP321 Wireless-N Access Point with PoE
You can configure a captive portal instance to accommodate either guest users
and authorized users. Guest users do not have assigned user names and
passwords.
Authorized users provide a valid user name and password that must first be
validated against a local database or RADIUS server. Authorized users are
typically assigned to a CP instance that is associated with a different VAP than
guest users.
You can use the Local Users page to configure up to 128 authorized users in the
local database.
To add and configure a local user:
Click Captive Portal > Local Users in the navigation window.
Enter a User Name and click Save.
The page displays additional fields for configuring the user.
Enter the parameters:
• User Password—Enter the user's password, from 8 to 64 alphanumeric and
special characters. A user enter must enter the password to log into the
network through the Captive Portal.
• Away Timeout—The period of time after which the user is logged out if
there is no activity. The range is from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default is 0.
• Group Name—The assigned user group. Each CP instance is configured to
support a particular group of users.
• Maximum Bandwidth Up—The maximum upload speed, in megabits per
second, that a client can transmit traffic when using the captive portal. This
setting limits the client's bandwidth used to send data into the network. The
range is from 0 to 300 Mbps. The default is 0.
• Maximum Bandwidth Down—The maximum download speed, in megabits
per second, that a client can receive traffic when using the captive portal.
This setting limits the client's bandwidth used to receive data from the
network. The range is from 0 to 300 Mbps. The default is 0.
• Delete User—Deletes the current user.
