15 Integration with Enterprise Equipment
The EnRoute500 supports authentication, accounting, and monitoring services that easily
integrate with enterprise equipment. In this section the following topics are described:
• Splash pages
• Backhaul health monitoring
• Layer 2 client emulation
15.1 Configuring Splash Pages
The EnRoute500 supports splash pages, which can be used to restrict access to the mesh
network and provide information to users that connect to the mesh. When a user connects
through a client interface to an EnRoute500 with splash page support enabled, the splash
page for the appropriate interface will be displayed and the user will be restricted from
accessing other destinations on the Internet until having logged in. The splash page can
require the user to enter logon credentials or simply click a button to complete the login
process.
To use splash pages, a number of URLs for login, successful login, and failed login must be
specified. A RADIUS server that provides authentication services must also be specified.
15.1.1 Enabling Splash Pages
The enabling of splash pages can be controlled on a per-interface basis with the
‘splash.enable.wlanN’ parameters in the ‘sys’ interface. For a splash page to be displayed on
an interface, the appropriate parameter must be set to ‘yes’. The example below illustrates
how to set this parameter for the wlan1 interface.
> use sys
sys> set splash.enable.wlan1=yes
Splash pages can be enabled on the “Splash Pages” sub-tab under the “AAA” tab on the
“System Parameters” page of the web interface (see
Figure 49).
Two splash page mode are supported – one which requires clients to login in to gain access to
the network and another which requires them to simply click on a button on the web page to
proceed. Use the ‘splash.auth.server.wlanN.enable’ parameters in the ‘sys’ interface to select
which mode is used for an interface. The example below illustrates how to set the parameter
for the wlan1 interface such that a user will be required to login to access the network.
