Web server(s) should be in the Whitelist.

Radius VLAN
Assignment

Select this option to enable client VLAN assignments using the RADIUS server. If, as part of the
authentication process, the RADIUS server returns a client’s VLAN-ID in a RADIUS access-accept packet,
and this feature is enabled, all client traffic is forwarded on the post authentication VLAN. If disabled, the
RADIUS server’s VLAN assignment is ignored and the VLAN configuration defined within the WLAN
configuration is used instead. This feature is disabled by default.

Post Authentication
VLAN

When this option is selected, a specific VLAN is assigned to the client upon successful authentication.
The available range is from 1 - 4,096.

Client Access Time

Use the spinner control to define the duration wireless clients are allowed access to using the captive
portal policy when there is no session time value defined for the RADIUS response. Set an interval from
10 - 10,800 minutes. The default interval is 1,440 minutes.

Inactivity Timeout

Use the drop-down menu to specify an interval in either Minutes (5 - 30) or Seconds (300 - 1,800) that,
when exceeded, times out the session. The default is 10 minutes.
