You can use the Global CP Configuration page to control the administrative state
of the CP feature and configure global settings that affect all captive portal
instances configured on the WAP device.
To configure CP Global settings:
Select Captive Portal > Global Configuration in the navigation pane.
Configure the parameters:
• Captive Portal Mode—Enables CP operation on the WAP device.
• Authentication Timeout—To access the network through a portal, the client
must first enter authentication information on an authentication web page.
This field specifies the number of seconds the WAP device keeps an
authentication session open with the associated wireless client. If the client
fails to enter authentication credentials within the timeout period allowed,
the client may need to refresh the web authentication page. The default
authentication timeout is 300 seconds. The range is from 60 to 600 seconds.
• Additional HTTP Port—HTTP traffic uses the HTTP management port,
which is 80 by default. You can configure an additional port for HTTP traffic.
Enter a port number between 1025 and 65535, or 80. The HTTP and HTTPs
ports cannot be the same.
• Additional HTTPS Port—HTTP traffic over SSL (HTTPS) uses the HTTPS
management port, which is 443 by default. You can configure an additional
port for HTTPS traffic. Enter port number between 1025 and 65535, or 443.
The HTTP and HTTPs ports cannot be the same.
The Captive Portal Configuration Counters area shows read-only CP information:
• Instance Count—The number of CP instances currently configured on the
WAP device. Up to two instances can be configured.
• Group Count—The number of CP groups currently configured on the WAP
device. Up to two groups can be configured. Default Group exists by default
and cannot be deleted.
• User Count—The number of CP users currently configured on the WAP
device. Up to 128 users can be configured.
Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
