Configuring portal stateful failover(6600/HSR6600)
Network requirements
As shown in
Router B support portal authentication. Configure stateful failover between Router A and Router B to
support portal service backup and use VRRP to implement traffic switchover between the routers. More
specifically,
When Router A works normally, Host accesses Router A for portal authentication before accessing
•
the Internet. When Router A fails, Host accesses the Internet through Router B. The VRRP
uplink/downlink detection mechanism is used to ensure non-stop traffic forwarding.
Use the RADIUS server as the authentication/authorization server. In this example, Server takes the
•
responsibilities of the portal server and the RADIUS server.
•
Router A and Router B use a dedicated physical link as the failover link to transmit stateful failover
related packets.

Configuration prerequisites and guidelines
Configure IP addresses for the host, server, and routers as shown in
•
can reach each other.
Make sure the host can access the authentication server through Router A and Router B before
•
portal authentication is enabled.
•
Configure VRRP group 1 and VRRP group 2 to implement backup for downstream and upstream
links respectively. For more information about VRRP, see High Availability Configuration Guide.
For information about stateful failover, see High Availability Configuration Guide.
