auth-web-server intercept-port
This command specifies any additional TCP port numbers that the web authentication
server is to intercept.
Use the no variant of this command to stop intercepting the TCP port numbers.
Syntax auth-web-server intercept-port <1-65535>
no auth-web-server intercept-port <1-65535>
Default No additional TCP port numbers are intercepted by default.
Mode Global Configuration
Usage If this command is not specified, AlliedWare Plus Web Authentication intercepts the
supplicant’s initial TCP port 80 connection to a web page and sends it the Web
Authentication Login page. However, if the supplicant is configured to use a web proxy,
then it will usually be using TCP port 8080 (or another user configured port number). In
this case Web Authentication cannot intercept the connection.
To overcome this limitation you can now use this command to tell the switch which
additional port it should intercept, and then send the Web Authentication Login page to
the supplicant.
When you use this command in conjunction with a proxy server configured in the web
browser, you must add the proxy server’s network as a ‘No Proxy’ network. You can specify
‘No Proxy’ networks in the proxy settings in your web browser. For more information, see
the “Web Auth Proxy” section in the
Alliedware Plus Technical Tips and Tricks.
Example To additionally intercept port number 3128, use the following commands:
