In this section, you create an instance of the captive portal authentication profile and the AAA profile. For the
captive portal authentication profile, you specify the previously-created auth-guest user role as the default user
role for authenticated captive portal clients and the authentication server group ("Internal").
Perform these steps to configure a Captive Portal Authentication profile.

Description
Maximum period, in minutes, that the controller considers an unresponsive
authentication server to be "out of service".
This timer is only applicable if there are two or more authentication servers
configured on the controller. If there is only one authentication server configured,
the server is never considered out of service and all requests are sent to the server.
If one or more backup servers are configured and a server is unresponsive, it is
marked as out of service for the dead time; subsequent requests are sent to the next
server on the priority list for the duration of the dead time. If the server is responsive
after the dead time has elapsed, it can take over servicing requests from a lower-
priority server; if the server continues to be unresponsive, it is marked as down for
the dead time.
Range: 0–60 minutes
Maximum time, in minutes, unauthenticated clients are allowed to remain
logged on.
Range: 0–255 minutes
Configures the UDP port to receive requests from a RADIUS server that can send
user disconnect and change-of-authorization messages, as described in RFC 3576,
"Dynamic Authorization Extensions to Remote Dial In User Service (RADIUS)".
NOTE: This parameter can only be used on the master controller.
If you define a RADIUS server using the FQDN of the server rather than its IP
address, the controller will periodically generate a DNS request and cache the IP
address returned in the DNS response. By default, DNS requests are sent every 15
minutes
