above step. For more information, see the chapter ―SSL configuration.‖
When you specify the protocol for the local portal server to support, the local portal server will load the
default authentication page file, which is supposed to be saved in the root directory of the device. To
ensure that the local portal server uses the user-defined default authentication pages, you need to edit
and save them properly. Otherwise, the system default authentication pages will be used.

NOTE:
To ensure normal operation of portal authentication on a Layer 2 port, HP does not recommend you to enable
port security, guest VLAN of 802.1X, or EAD fast deployment of 802.1X on the port.
To support assignment of authorized VLANs, you must enable the MAC-based VLAN function on the port.
