Before enabling global Web authentication, you should first set the IP address of a Web 

authentication server. 

z 

Web authentication cannot be enabled when one of the following features is enabled, and vice 

versa: 802.1x, MAC authentication, port security, port aggregation and XRN. 

z 

You can make Web authentication settings on individual ports before Web authentication is 

enabled globally, but they will not take effect. The Web authentication settings on ports take effect 

immediately once you enable Web authentication globally. 

z 

A Web authentication client and the switch with Web authentication enabled must be able to 

communicate at the network layer so that the Web authentication page can be displayed on the 

Web authentication client. 

z 

Web authentication is mutually exclusive with functions that depend on ACLs such as IP filtering, 

ARP intrusion detection, QoS, and port binding. 

z 

After a user gets online in shared access method, if you configure an authentication-free user 

whose IP address and MAC address are the same as those of the online user, the online user will 

be forced to get offline.
