4.12 Wired Hotspot
Hotspot functionality allows service providers or shop owners to provide Internet access to guest users. Hotspots are often
found at restaurants, train stations, airports, libraries, coffee shops, book stores, fuel stations, and other public places.
Users will not have Internet access until they are authenticated.When a user tries to access a web page through a browser,
the request is redirected to a login page where the user has to enter a valid login name and password. Upon successful
authentication, the user is provided with full Internet access until the session expires. Wired hotspots can be used where
wireless connections are not used or not feasible.
NOTE: The L2 firewall should be enabled for the Wired Hotspot feature to work. The L3
entity table, which is used to get the MAC address is updated when the L2 firewall is
updated.
NOTE: At any point of time hotspot can be enabled on 32 VLANs only.
