Specifying The Portal Server; Enabling Portal Authentication; Configuration Restrictions And Guidelines - HP 12500 Series Configuration Manual

Specifying the portal server

Perform this task to specify portal server parameters for Layer 3 portal authentication, including the portal
server IP address and port number, the shared encryption key, and the URL address for Web
authentication.
To specify an IPv4 portal server for Layer 3 authentication:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Specify an IPv4 portal server
and configure related
parameters.
To specify an IPv6 portal server for Layer 3 authentication:
Step
Enter system view.
1.
2. Specify an IPv6 portal server
and configure related
parameters.
NOTE:
The switch (access device) allows you to specify up to eight portal servers.
•
The configured parameters of a portal server can be modified or deleted only if the portal server is not
•
referenced on any interface.

Enabling portal authentication

Only after you enable portal authentication on an access interface, can the access interface perform
portal authentication for connected clients.
Before enabling Layer 3 portal authentication on an interface, make sure that:
• An IP address is configured for the interface.
The interface is not added to any port aggregation group.
•
The portal server to be referenced on the interface exists.
•

Configuration restrictions and guidelines

You cannot enable portal authentication on a Layer 3 interface added to an aggregation group,
•
nor can you add a portal-enabled Layer 3 interface to an aggregation group.
