Web and MAC Authentication

Configuring Web Authentication

Specifies the base address/mask for the temporary IP pool used by DHCP. The base address can be any valid ip address (not a multicast address). Valid mask range value is <255.255.240.0 - 255.255.255.0>.

(Default: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0)

Syntax: aaa port-access web-based [dhcp-lease <5 - 25>]

Specifies the lease length, in seconds, of the temporary IP address issued for Web Auth login purposes. (Default: 10 seconds)

Syntax: aaa port-access web-based [ewa-server <ipv4-addr hostname> [<page-path>]]

Configures a connection with the web server at the specified IPv4 address (ipv4-addr) or host name (ipv4- addr) on which customized login web pages used for Web Authentication are stored. A maximum of 3 web servers may be configured on the switch.

The optional <page-path>parameter defines the directory path on the server where all customized login web pages (graphics, HTML frames, and HTML files) are stored. (Default: The default <page-path>value is /” for root directory. If the web server is also used for other purposes, you may wish to group the HTML files in their own directory, for example in “/EWA/”)

ProCurve Switch (config)# aaa port-access web-based 47 ewa-server 10.0.12.179 /EWA

ProCurve Switch (config)# aaa port-access web-based 47 ewa-server 10.0.12.180 /EWA
