Web and MAC Authentication
How Web and MAC Authentication Operate
enabled SSL on the switch, you can specify the
ssl-login
option when you
configure web authentication so that clients who log in to specified ports are
redirected to a secure login page (https://...) to enter their credentials.
The switch passes the supplied username and password to the RADIUS server
for authentication and displays the following progress message:
Figure 4-2. Progress Message During Authentication
If the client is authenticated and the maximum number of clients allowed on
the port (
client-limit
) has not been reached, the port is assigned to a static,
untagged VLAN for network access. After a successful login, a client may be
redirected to a URL if you specify a URL value (
redirect-url
) when you
configure web authentication.
Figure 4-3. Authentication Completed
The assigned VLAN is determined, in order of priority, as follows:
1.
If there is a RADIUS-assigned VLAN, then, for the duration of the client
session, the port belongs to this VLAN and temporarily drops all other
VLAN memberships.
2.
If there is no RADIUS-assigned VLAN, then, for the duration of the client
session, the port belongs to the authorized VLAN (
auth-vid
if configured)
and temporarily drops all other VLAN memberships.
3.
If neither 1 or 2, above, apply, but the port is an untagged member of a
statically configured, port-based VLAN, then the port remains in this
VLAN.
4.
If neither 1, 2, or 3, above, apply, then the client session does not have
access to any statically configured, untagged VLANs and client access is
blocked.
