Enabling portal authentication on an interface

You must first enable portal authentication on an access interface before it can perform portal

authentication for connected clients.
When a portal-enabled interface receives a portal packet, it checks the source IP address of the packet.
If the packet matches a locally configured portal authentication server, the interface regards the packet

valid and sends an authentication response packet to the portal authentication server. Otherwise, the

interface drops the packet. After a user logs in to the device, the user interacts with the portal

authentication server as needed.

Configuration restrictions and guidelines

When you enable portal authentication on an interface, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

Make sure the interface has a valid IP address before you enable portal authentication on the
interface.
