a.Click Add under Authentication Servers.
b.Under Choose an Authentication Server, select the authentication server that will be the primary server.
c.Click Add for the selection to be applied.
d.To add additional authentication servers as backup servers, repeat the steps above.

4.Specify the VLAN to which users will be assigned.
5.Click Apply.
You can optionally configure other Captive Portal parameters by navigating to the Configuration > Advanced > Security > Authentication Methods > Captive Portal Authentication page.
