Configuring a Captive Portal

Default Captive Portal Behavior and Settings

Captive Portal is disabled by default. If you enable Captive Portal, no

interfaces are associated with the default Captive Portal. After you associate

an interface with the Captive Portal and globally enable the Captive Portal

feature, a user who connects to the switch through that interface is presented

with the Captive Portal Welcome screen shown in Figure 17-3.

Figure 17-3. Default Captive Portal Welcome Screen

The user types a name in the Username field, selects the Acceptance Use

Policy check box, and clicks Connect to gain network access. By default, the

user does not need to be defined in a database or enter a password to access

the network because the default verification mode is Guest. Note that

duplicate Username entries can exist in this mode because the client IP and

MAC addresses are obtained for identification.
Table 17-1 shows the default values for the Captive Portal feature.
