DELL N3000 User Manual

Configuring Port and System Security

Captive Portal is disabled by default. If you enable Captive Portal, no 

interfaces are associated with the default Captive Portal. After you associate 

an interface with the Captive Portal and globally enable the Captive Portal 

feature, a user who connects to the switch through that interface is presented 

with the Captive Portal Welcome screen shown in Figure 19-15.

The user types a name in the Username field, selects the Acceptance Use 

Policy check box, and clicks Connect to gain network access. By default, the 

user does not need to be defined in a database or enter a password to access 

the network because the default verification mode is Guest. Note that 

duplicate Username entries can exist in this mode because the client IP and 

MAC addresses are obtained for identification. 
Table 19-4 shows the default values for the Captive Portal feature.
