Support for External Captive Portal
Wireless LAN Cotroller 8100 can support external captive portal with patented floating CPIP
mapping method and RFC 5176 Change of Authorization (CoA) to achieve a linearly scaling
standalone external captive portal solution that is designed for both large and small deployment.
WLAN 8100 users can provide their own external captive portal based on design guideline from
Avaya.
The WLAN controller leverages RFC 5176 CoA (Change of Authorization) to support small, medium,
and large scale deployments.
Support for Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a data link layer protocol in the Internet Protocol Suite
used by network devices for neighbor identity and capability discovery. Avaya AP advertises its
status to the neighbors and relays the information and status about the LLDP neighbors to its
managing wireless controller.
