Configuring A Portal-Free Rule - HP 4800G Series Configuration Manual

To do...
Enter system view
Configure a portal server
Enter interface view
Enable portal authentication on
the interface
Enabling portal authentication on a Layer 3 port is mutually exclusive with adding the port to an
aggregation group.
The destination port number that the device uses for sending packets to the portal server
unsolicitedly must be the same as that the remote portal server actually uses.
The portal server and its parameters can be deleted or modified only when the portal server is not
referenced by any interface.
The portal server to be referenced must exist.
Only Layer 3 authentication mode can be used in applications with Layer 3 forwarding devices
present between the authentication clients and the access device. However, Layer-3
authentication does not require any Layer-3 forwarding devices between the access device and the
authentication clients.
In re-DHCP authentication mode, a user is allowed to send packets using a public IP address
before portal authentication, but the corresponding response packets are restricted.

Configuring a Portal-Free Rule

A portal-free rule allows specified users to access specified external websites without portal
authentication. Packets matching a portal-free rule will not trigger portal authentication and the users
can directly access the specified external websites.
Follow these steps to configure a portal-free rule:
To do...
