• Internal - three HTML pages with basic functionality are made available on the switch's onboard
HTTP server. The HTML pages are pre-created to collect login credentials through Login.htm, send
them to a Radius server and display a Welcome.htm or a Faliure.htm depending on the result of the
authentication attempt. For more information, see
• External - a customer may wish to host their own external Web server using advanced Web content
(using XML, Flash). Use the External option to point the switch to an external hotspot. For more
information, see
• Advanced - a customer may wish to use advanced Web content (XML, Flash) but might not have (or
would not want to use) an external Web server, choosing instead to host the Web pages on the
switch's HTTP Web server. Selecting the Advanced option allows for the importing the Web pages
from an external source (like an FTP server) and hosting them on the switch. For more information,
see Configuring Advanced Hotspot on page
NOTE: The appearance of the Hotspot screen differs depending on which option is

before deciding which hotspot option to select.
NOTE: As part of the hotspot configuration process, ensure a primary and optional
secondary Radius Server have been properly configured to authenticate the users
requesting access to the hotspot supported WLAN. For more information on configuring
Radius Server support for the hotspot supported WLAN, see

of the authentication attempt.
