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.
The default is HTTP.
Verification Mode
Select the mode for the CP to use to verify clients:
• Guest
: The user does not need to be authenticated by a
database.
• Local
: The switch uses a local database to authenticate users.
• RADIUS
: The switch uses a database on a remote RADIUS
server to authenticate users.
The default is Guest.
User Logout Mode
Select the check box to specify that the user logout will be used.
Selecting the check box enables client side de-authentication
requests for this configuration.In order for the user logout to
function properly, the client browser must be configured such that
javascript is enabled and popup windows are allowed. For more
information, see

Select the check box to specify that the CP should redirect the
newly authenticated client to the configured URL. If the check box
is clear, the user sees the locale-specific 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. The range is 0-
256 characters.
User Group
If the Verification Mode is Local or RADIUS, assign an existing
User Group to the captive portal or create a new group. All users
who belong to the group are permitted to access the network
through this portal. The User Group list is the same for all CP
configurations on the switch.
The User Group field also allows you to add, delete, or rename
user groups for all captive portals.
