Parameter                    Description 

WAC Global State 

Enable or disable Web Authentication on the Switch. 

Virtual IP 

Enter a virtual IP address. This address is only used by WAC and is not known by any other 
functions of the Switch. 

Method 

Use this drop-down menu to choose the authenticator for Web-based Access Control. The 
user may choose: 

Local

 – Choose this parameter to use the local authentication method of the Switch as the 

authenticating method for users trying to access the network via the switch. This is, in fact, the 
username and password to access the Switch configured using the 

WAC User Settings

 

window (

Security > Web-based Access Control (WAC) > WAC User Settings

) seen below. 

RADIUS 

– Choose this parameter to use a remote RADIUS server as the authenticating 

method for users trying to access the network via the switch. This RADIUS server must have 
already been pre-assigned by the administrator using the Authentic RADIUS Server window 
(

Security > 802.1X > Authentic RADIUS Server

). 

Redirection Path
