User Manual

Users Manual of XGS-6350-24X4C

Different operation strategies adopt different authentication modes. The supported maximum number of users

that simultaneously access the network varies with the authentication mode. For the username/password

authentication mode, the switch supports simultaneously accessed users as many as its performance permits.

For the VLAN ID authentication mode, the maximum number of simultaneously accessed users equals the

number of VLAN that the switch supports.

2. Planning network topology

The switch takes the routing interface as a unit to set the authentication attribute. if the web authentication

function is enabled on a routing interface, network accesses through the routing interface are all controlled by

the web authentication. the dhcp server, dns server or aaa server should connect the switch through the

interface with web authentication function disabled. figure 6-4 shows the relative typical network topology.

6.3.2 Configuring Web Authentication

6.3.2.1 Global Configuration

1. Configuring the address of the portal server

Run the following command in global configuration mode to configure the address of the portal server:

Run… To...

web-auth portal-server A.B.C.D

Configure the IP address of the portal

server.

2. Configuring authentication duration

The parameter authtime determines the maximum time of user's authentication. If the authentication is not

approved within the maximum time, the switch terminates the authentication procedure.
