Configuring a Captive Portal

Configuration Overview

The following steps provide an overview of the process you use to configure

the Captive Portal feature.
To configure the switch:

1. If you plan to use a RADIUS server for authentication, configure the

RADIUS server settings on the switch.

2. If authentication is required, configure the user groups to associate with

each Captive Portal.

3. Create (add) the Captive Portals.
4. Configure the Captive Portal settings for each Captive Portal, such as the

verification mode.

5. Associate interfaces with the Captive Portal instances.
6. Download the branding images, such as the company logo, to the switch.

The images you download must be accessible from the switch, either on

the system you use to manage the switch or on a server that is on the same

network as the switch.

7. Customize the authentication, logout, and logout success web pages that a

Captive Portal user will see.
Dell recommends that you use Use Dell OpenManage Administrator to

customize the Captive Portal authentication, logout, and logout success

pages. A

Preview button is available to allow you to see the pages that a

Captive Portal user will see.

8. If you use the local database for user authentication, configure the users on

the switch.

9. If you use a RADIUS server for authentication, add the users to the

database on the RADIUS server.

10. Associate interfaces with the Captive Portal instances.
11. Globally enable Captive Portal.

NOTE:

You must use the web interface to download images.
