Figure 6-66. CP Configuration
The CP Configuration page contains the following fields:
•
Configuration Name
— If multiple CP configurations exist on the system, select the CP configuration
to view or configure. Use the

button to add a new CP configuration to the switch.
•
Captive Portal
— Use this field to enable or disable the selected CP configuration.
•
Protocol Mode
— Choose whether to use HTTP or HTTPS as the protocol for the portal to use during
the verification process.
–
HTTP
— Does not use encryption during verification
–
HTTPS
— Uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which requires a certificate to provide
encryption. The certificate is presented to the user at connection time.
•
Verification Mode

–
Guest
— The user does not need to be authenticated by a database.
–
Local
— The switch uses a local database to authenticated users.

RADIUS
— The switch uses a database on a remote RADIUS server to authenticate users.
NOTE: To configure authorized users on the local or remote RADIUS database, see "Local User" on page 203.
•
Enable Redirect Mode
— Select this option to specify that the CP should redirect the newly
authenticated client to the configured URL. If this option is clear, the user sees the welcome page after
a successful verification.

Redirect URL
— Specify the URL to which the newly authenticated client is redirected if the URL
Redirect Mode is enabled.
