•
passing portal authentication, the host can access only the portal server. After passing portal
authentication, the host can access the Internet.
The access device (Switch) can detect whether the portal server is reachable and send trap
•

network device failure, or portal server failure, for example, the access device can disable portal
authentication, allowing users to access the Internet without authentication.
• The access device can synchronize portal user information with the portal server periodically.
