Setting the DNS Whitelist Configuration
Getting Started with the Mobile Computer
A DNS whitelist is used in conjunction with a captive portal to provide captive portal services to
wireless clients. Use the DNS whitelist parameter to create a set of allowed destination IP
addresses within the captive portal. These allowed IP addresses are called the Whitelist. To
effectively host captive portal pages on an external Web server, the IP address of the destination
Web server(s) should be in the whitelist. Each supported access point model can support up to 32
whitelists, with the exception of Brocade Mobility 6511 Access Point which can only support up to
16 whitelists.
To define a DNS whitelist:
1. Select Configuration tab from the web user interface.
Select Services.
2. Select DNS Whitelist.
The DNS Whitelist screen displays those existing whitelists available to a captive portal.
3. Select Add to create a whitelist, Edit to modify a selected whitelist or Delete to remove a
whitelist.
• If creating a whitelist, assign it a name up to 32 characters. Use the + Add Row button to
populate the whitelist table with Host and IP Index parameters that must be defined for
each whitelist entry.
