Captive Portal profile for external Web Authentication

The Captive Portal profile serves as a template that includes configuration details specific to the external server such as virtual IP address, HTTP or HTTPS protocol port number, and details of the login page hosted on the external web server.

The details configured in the external Captive Portal profile enable the switch to handle the HTTP redirection mechanism and redirect the client to the login page hosted on the external web server server. The Captive Portal profile is then applied on an external Web Authentication-enabled VLAN.
