HP 10500 Series Configuration Manual page 172

# Configure domain dm1 as the default ISP domain for all users. Then, if a user enters a username
without the ISP domain at logon, the authentication and accounting methods of the default domain
are used for the user.
[Switch] domain default enable dm1
3. Configure portal authentication:
# Configure a portal server on the switch, specifying the portal server name as newpt, IP address
as 192.168.0.111, key as plaintext string portal, port number as 50100, and URL as
http://192.168.0.111:8080/portal.
[Switch] portal server newpt ip 192.168.0.111 key portal port 50100 url
http://192.168.0.111:8080/portal
# Enable portal authentication on the interface connecting the host.
[Switch] interface vlan-interface 100
[Switch–Vlan-interface100] portal server newpt method direct
[Switch–Vlan-interface100] quit
4. Configure the portal server detection function:
# Configure the access device to detect portal server newpt, specifying the detection method as
portal heartbeat probe, setting the server probe interval to 40 seconds, and specifying the access
device to send a server unreachable log message and disable portal authentication to permit
unauthenticated portal users if two consecutive probes fail.
[Switch] portal server newpt server-detect method portal-heartbeat action log
permit-all interval 40 retry 2
The product of interval and retry must be greater than or equal to the portal server heartbeat
interval, and HP recommends that you configure the interval as a value greater than the portal
server heartbeat interval configured on the portal server.
5. Configure portal user synchronization:
# Configure the access device to synchronize portal user information with portal server newpt,
setting the synchronization probe interval to 600 seconds, and specifying the access device to log
off users if the users do not appear in the user synchronization packets sent from the server in two
consecutive probe intervals.
[Switch] portal server newpt user-sync interval 600 retry 2
The product of interval and retry must be greater than or equal to the portal user heartbeat interval,
and HP recommends that you configure the interval as a value greater than the portal user
heartbeat interval configured on the portal server.
Verifying the configuration
Use the following command to view information about the portal server:
<Switch> display portal server newpt
Portal server:

Port : 50100
URL
Status
The Up state of the portal server indicates that the portal server is reachable. If the access device detects
that the portal server is unreachable, you can see the portal server status is Down in the output, and the
access device generates a server unreachable log "portal server newpt lost" and disables portal
