Parameter Description
Uppercase support Set to Enabled to allow the W-IAP to use uppercase letters in MAC address string for MAC
authentication.
NOTE: This option is available only if MAC authentication is enabled.
Authentication server To configure an authentication server, select any of the following options:
l If the server is already configured, select the server from the list.
l To create new external RADIUSserver, select New. For more information, see
Configuring an External Server for Authentication on page 164.
Reauth interval Specify a value for the reauthentication interval at which the APs periodically
reauthenticate all associated and authenticated clients.
Accounting mode Select an accounting mode from Accounting mode for posting accounting information at
the specified Accounting interval. When the accounting mode is set to Authentication,
the accounting starts only after client authentication is successful and stops when the
client logs out of the network. If the accounting mode is set to Association, the accounting
starts when the client associates to the network successfully and stops when the client is
disconnected.
Accounting interval Configure an accounting interval in minutes within the range of 0–60, to allow APs to
periodically post accounting information to the RADIUS server.
Blacklisting
If you are configuring a wireless network profile, select Enabled to enable blacklisting of
the clients with a specific number of authentication failures.
Max authentication
failures
If you are configuring a wireless network profile and the Blacklisting is enabled, specify a
maximum number of authentication failures after which users who fail to authenticate
must be dynamically blacklisted.
Walled garden
Click the link to open the Walled Garden window. The walled garden configuration
determines access to the websites. For more information, see Configuring Walled Garden
Access on page 150.
Disable if uplink type
is
Select the type of the uplink to exclude.
Encryption
Select Enabled to configure encryption settings and specify the encryption parameters.

In the CLI
To configure security settings for guest users of the WLAN SSID profile:
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <name>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# essid <ESSID-name>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# type <Guest>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# captive-portal{<type>[exclude-uplink <types>]| external
[exclude-uplink <types>| profile <name>[exclude-uplink <types>]]}
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# captive-portal-proxy-server <IP> <port>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# blacklist
