Release K.13.19 Enhancements
If the default severity value is in effect, all messages that have severities greater than
the default value are passed to syslog. For example, if the default severity is “debug”, all
messages that have severities greater than debug are passed to syslog.
There is a limit of six syslog servers. All syslog servers are sent the same messages using
the same filter parameters.
An error is generated for an attempt to add more than six syslog servers.
Enhancement (PR_0000003390) — This enhancement allows the user to customize Web
Authentication HTML pages.
Customizing Web Authentication HTML Files
The Web Authentication process displays a series of Web pages and status messages to the user during
login. The Web pages that are displayed can be:
Generic, default pages generated directly by the switch software
Customized pages hosted on a local Web server.
By creating customized login Web pages, you can improve the “look and feel” of the Web Authenti-
cation process to correspond more closely with your network and business needs. For example, you
can:
Identify the network that a client is trying to log into.
Provide contact information if a client has difficulty connecting to the network.
Incorporate CSS styles consistent with the appearance of your network.
To implement these “enhanced” Web Authentication pages, you need to:
Configure and start a Web server on your local network,
Customize the HTML template files and make them accessible to the Web server
Configure the switch to display the customized files by using the
aaa port-access web-based
<port-list > ewa-server command
.
The customized Web pages you create can be hosted on up to three Web servers in your network.
Implementing multiple Web servers provides redundancy in case access to any of the other servers
fail.
Implementing Customized Web-Auth Pages
Guidelines
Customized Web Authentication pages are configured per switch, so that each Web-Auth
enabled port displays the same customized pages at client login.
