8. Select + Add Row to define the following for critical resource configurations:
9. Select the Monitor Interval tab.
FIGURE 91 Critical Resources screen - Monitor Interval tab
10. Set the duration between two successive pings from the access point to the critical resource.
Define this value in seconds from 5 - 86,400. The default setting is 30 seconds.
Configure the IP address for Port-Limited Monitoring in the Source IP for Port-Limited Monitoring
field. Sets the IP address used as the source address in ARP packets used to detect a critical
resource on a layer 2 interface. Generally, the source address 0.0.0.0 is used in the APR packets
used to detect critical resources. However, some devices do not support the above IP address and
drop the ARP packets. Use this field to provide an IP address specifically used for this purpose. The
IP address used for Port-Limited Monitoring must be different from the IP address configured on
the device.
11. Select OK to save the changes to the critical resource configuration and monitor interval.
Select Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
Profile Services Configuration
System Profile Configuration
A profile can contain specific guest access (captive portal) server configurations. These guest
network access permissions can be defined uniquely as profile requirements dictate.
To define a profile’s services configuration:
1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.
2. Select Devices.
3. Select System Profile from the options on left-hand side of the UI.
4. Select Services.
IP Address Provide the IP address of the critical resource. This is the address used by the access point to ensure the
critical resource is available. Up to four addresses can be defined.
Mode Set the ping mode used when the availability of a critical resource is validated. Select from:
•
arp-only – Use the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) for only pinging the critical resource. ARP is used to
resolve hardware addresses when only the network layer address is known.
•
arp-and-ping – Use both ARP and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) for pinging the critical
resource and sending control messages (device not reachable, requested service not available, etc.).
Port Provide the port on which the critical resource is available. Use the spinner control to set the port number.
VLAN Define the VLAN on which the critical resource is available using the spinner control.
