Set up Walled Garden
A walled garden is a method to provide restricted access to the Internet. Walled garden destination(s) can
be accessed at the specified port numbers without displaying the splash page. Domain (e.g. domain.com)
also covers its subdomains (e.g. subdomain.domain.com).
Configure a list of exempted domains, subdomains, IP address ranges and port numbers. (E.g.
192.168.1.0/24) . Services on these IP addresses can be accessed without redirection to the portal
page. If some part of the portal page (e.g., images) is placed on a web server, the web server’s IP
address must be included in this list for the content to be successfully displayed.
If the mode of authentication is External Splash page for Sign-in/Click-through, you can restrict access to
walled garden destinations unless the guest user accepts the terms and conditions specified on the
splash page.
