Default

Mode
Global Configuration
Usage
If the supplicant is configured to use WPAD, the supplicant’s web browser will use TCP port
80 as usual. Therefore, the packet can be intercepted by Web Authentication as normal,
and the Web Authentication Login page can be sent. However, after authentication, the
browser does not know where to get the WPAD file and so cannot access external web
pages. The WPAD file is usually named proxy.pac file and tells the browser what web proxy
to use.
Use this command to tell the supplicant where it can get this file from. The switch itself
can be specified as the source for this file, and it can deliver it to the supplicant on request.
Example
To specify that the proxy.pac file is found on the server at 192.168.1.100, use the following
commands:
