Configuring Portal Detection Functions
Configuring Detection of Online Portal Users
With online portal user detection enabled on an interface, the device will periodically send probe
packets (ARP requests currently) to the portal users of the interface to check whether the portal users are
still online, so as to timely find out portal users who get offline without logging off.
•
If the device receives a reply from a portal user before sending probe packets to the portal user for
the maximum number of times, it considers that the portal user is online and will keep sending
probe packets to the portal user.
•
If the device receives no reply from a portal user after sending probe packets to the portal user for
the maximum number of times, it considers that the portal user is offline and will stop sending probe
packets to the portal user and delete the user.
Follow these steps to configure the online portal user detection function:

Configuring the Portal Server Detection Function
During portal authentication, if the communication between the access device and portal server is
broken off, new portal users will not be able to log on and the online portal users will not be able to log
off normally. To address this problem, the access device needs to be able to detect the reachability
changes of the portal server timely and take corresponding actions to deal with the changes. For
