name or domain names. Data traffic from authenticated clients goes through, and the
rules do not apply to these packets.
For a port on which you enable the captive portal feature, if an unauthenticated client
opens a web browser and tries to connect to network, the captive portal redirects all
HTTP and HTTPS traffic from unauthenticated clients to the authenticating server on the
switch. A captive portal web page is displayed for the unauthenticated client, allowing
the client to authenticate, after which the client receives access to the port.
The captive portal feature is not supported for VLAN interfaces, loopback interfaces,
and logical interfaces. The captive portal feature uses MAC-address based authentication
and not port-based authentication. This means that all clients connected to the captive
portal interface must be authenticated before they can get access to the network.
