Detection
By default, AlliedWare Plus Web Authentication intercepts the supplicant’s initial TCP port
80 connection to a web page and sends it the Web Authentication login page. You can
also specify any additional TCP port numbers that the web authentication server is to
intercept by using the auth-web-server intercept-port command. In this way, Web
