Captive Portal
The Captive Portal (CP) feature allows you to block wired and wireless clients from accessing
the network until user verification has been established. You can configure CP verification to
allow access for both guest and authenticated users. Authenticated users must be validated
against a database of authorized Captive Portal users before access is granted. The
database can be stored locally on the switch or on a RADIUS server.
The Captive Portal folder contains links to the following features:
• Captive Portal Global Configuration on page 426
• Captive Portal Configuration on page 428
• Captive Portal Binding Configuration on page 430
• Captive Portal Binding Table on page 430
• Captive Portal Group Configuration on page 431
• Captive Portal User Configuration on page 432
• Captive Portal Trap Flags on page 433
• Captive Portal Client on page 434

Using the Captive Portal Global Configuration page, you can control the administrative state
of the CP feature and configure global settings that affect all captive portals configured on the
switch.
