Wireless Array
266 Configuring the Wireless Array
Additional sections will be displayed to allow you to configure
encryption, authentication server, and RADIUS accounting settings.
• The WPA Configuration encryption settings have the same
parameters as those described in “Procedure for Configuring
Network Security” on page 236.
• To configure Active Directory settings, see “Active Directory” on
page 246).
• The External RADIUS and Accounting settings are configured in the
same way as for an external RADIUS server (see “Procedure for
Configuring an External RADIUS Server” on page 241). Note that
external RADIUS servers may be specified using IP addresses or
domain names.
13. Roaming: For this SSID, select whether to enable fast roaming between
IAPs or Arrays at L2&L3 (Layer 2 and Layer 3), at L2 (Layer 2 only), or
disable roaming (Off). You may only select fast roaming at Layers 2 and 3
if this has been selected in Global Settings (IAP). See “Understanding Fast
Roaming” on page 288.
14. WPR (Web Page Redirect, also called captive portal): Check the checkbox
to enable the Web Page Redirect functionality, or clear it to disable this
option. If enabled, WPR configuration fields will be displayed under the
SSID Limits section. This feature may be used to provide an alternate
mode of authentication, or to simply display a splash screen when a user
first associates to the wireless network. After that, it can (optionally)
redirect the user to an alternate URL. For example, some wireless devices
and users may not have a correctly configured 802.1x (RADIUS)
supplicant. Utilizing WPR’s Web-based login, users may be authenticated
without using an 802.1x supplicant. See “Web Page Redirect (Captive
Portal) Configuration” on page 269 for details of WPR usage and
configuration.
You may specify “Whitelist” entries—a list of web sites to which users
have unrestricted access, without needing to be redirected to the WPR
page first. See “Whitelist Configuration for Web Page Redirect” on
page 273 for details.
