Captive Portal

RF Domain Statistics

A captive portal is guest access policy for providing guests temporary and restrictive access to the
controller or service platform managed wireless network. Captive portal authentication is used
primarily for guest or visitor access to the network, but is increasingly being used to provide
authenticated access to private network resources when 802.1X EAP is not a viable option. Captive
portal authentication does not provide end-user data encryption, but it can be used with static
WEP, WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK encryption.
