WEB-BASED ACCESS CONTROL (WAC) COMMANDS
Web-based Access Control is another port based access control method implemented similarly to the 802.1x port based access control
method previously stated. This function will allow user authentication through a RADIUS server or through the local username and
password set on the Switch when a user is trying to access the network via the Switch, if the port connected to the user is enabled for
this feature.
The user attempting to gain web access will be prompted for a username and password before being allowed to accept HTTP packets
from the Switch. Once accepted, the user will be placed in the configured VLAN that has been set for Web-based Access Control. If
denied access, no packets will pass through to the user and thus, will be prompted for a username and password again.
Please note that if you choose to use Web-based Access Control, SSL will not be available as the two are mutually exclusive.
The Web-based Access Control (WAC) commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate
parameters) in the following table.
