Unauthenticated Subnet
At least one Unauthenticated
Subnet is required before a
Shared Network is complete.
This is the subnet that non-
registered or suspended users
will receive an IP Address from
prior to registration. This
subnet also requires policy
routing to force the user to the
login page.
One or more Unauthenticated
Subnets may be configured. To
access the Unauthenticated
Subnet configuration, expand
the Auth DHCP Config menu. Then click on Unauthenticated Subnet. Figure 6.7 shows
what the Unauthenticated Subnet configuration screen looks like.
Adding
Choose the Shared Network that the Unauthenticated Subnet should be a part of.
Choose an appropriate lease length. The default of three minutes is appropriate as
after authentication, it will only take three minutes until the client gets an authenticated
IP address, regardless of actions on the part of the end-user. Other lease lengths are
available, however. Fill out the rest of the form according to the subnet values. On
screen help is available if needed. Click on Commit, and a new subnet will appear in
the list at the bottom of the screen.
Editing
This is much the same as adding. Click on the Edit link of the desired Unauthenticated
Subnet and the form will be auto completed with the values from that choice. Make
whatever changes are needed. Click on Commit to save the changes. The changes
should be reflected in the list at that point.
Disable
An unauthenticated subnet can also be disabled. Possible reasons for doing this are to
numerous to list here. A disabled subnet will no longer be available for leasing of IP
Addresses. It will still show up in the reports along with any users who currently have
an IP Address out of the subnet but the users will no longer be able to renew this IP
Address so they will move to a different available subnet, if any.
