Item Description
Method
Specify the portal authentication method to be used, which can be:
• Direct—Before authentication, a user manually configures an IP address or
directly obtains a public IP address through DHCP, and can access only the
portal server and predefined free websites. After passing authentication, the
user can access the network resources. The authentication process of direct
authentication is relatively simple than that of the re-DHCP authentication.
• Layer3—Layer 3 authentication is similar to direct authentication but allows
Layer 3 forwarding devices to be present between the authentication client and
the access device.
• Redhcp—Before authentication, a user gets a private IP address through DHCP
and can access only the portal server and predefined free websites. After
passing authentication, the user is allocated a public IP address and can access
the network resources.
