Captive Portal
NOTE
Cisco Small Business WAP551 and WAP561 Wireless-N Access Point
This chapter describes the Captive Portal (CP) feature, which allows you to block
wireless clients from accessing the network until user verification has been
established. You can configure CP verification to allow access for both guest and
authenticated users.
The Captive Portal feature is available on the WAP5xx devices and the Cisco
WAP321 device.
Authenticated users must be validated against a database of authorized Captive
Portal groups or users before access is granted. The database can be stored
locally on the WAP device or on a RADIUS server.
Captive Portal consists of two CP instances. Each instance can be configured
independently, with different verification methods for each VAP or SSID. Cisco
WAP551 and WAP561 devices operate concurrently with some VAPs configured
for CP authentication and other VAPs configured for normal wireless
authentication methods, such as WPA or WPA Enterprise.
This chapter includes these topics:
