12.1.9 Captive Portal Pages
Devices
A captive portal is guest access policy that provides guests temporary and restrictive access to the access point managed
wireless network.
A captive portal policy provides secure authenticated access using a standard Web browser. Captive portals provide
authenticated access by capturing and re-directing a wireless user's Web browser session to a captive portal login page where
the user must enter valid credentials to access the wireless network. Once logged into the captive portal, additional Terms and
Conditions, Welcome and Fail pages provide the administrator with a number of options on screen flow and appearance.
Captive portal authentication is used primarily for guest or visitor access to the network, but is increasingly used to provide
authenticated access to private network resources when 802.1X EAP is not a viable option. Captive portal authentication does
not provide end-user data encryption, but it can be used with static WEP, WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK encryption.
Each supported access point model can support up to 32 captive portal policies, with the exception of AP6511 and AP6521
models, which can only support 16 captive portal policies.
The Captive Portal Pages screen enables the management of the configured Captive Portal pages and their transfer to the
adopted access points.
