Radius Configuration and ExCap Portal
This guide covers how to create a radius configuration and link external captive portal to Pronto Networks hardware.
Step 1: Configure Radius Settings:
Begin by navigating to Organization>Radius Configuration page. In this section, please configure your Authentication and Accounting servers. Note, this step only needs to be configured once.
How to configure Radius settings:
Under RADIUS Name field, name your RADIUS profile.
Provide the RADIUS IP, Port, and Secret.
Select the Type as RADIUS (Authentication server) or RADIUS Accounting (Accounting Server).
Select the Create RADIUS button
Please configure both the RADIUS Authentication and Accounting Server following the above steps.
Step 2: Configure Captive Portal Settings:
Once you have added your Radius servers, navigate to the network section to apply the captive portal. In this scenario, we will be applying the captive portal to a VLAN. Create or edit your Captive portal VLAN
Once in the VLAN menu, navigate to the Captive portal menu and click enable
This will expand a number of Captive portal settings, including:
Radius Authentication Server : Here select the Radius Auth server configured in the Radius Configuration Page
Radius Accounting Server : Here select the Radius Acct server configured in the Radius Configuration Page
MAC Auth: To enable MAC Auth request on the user device association, enable the MAC Authentication
Default interim update time : Enter in seconds, or leave the default values
Default idle timeout : Enter in seconds, or leave the default values
Splash URL: Add the URL for the login page of the captive portal
Success URL: Select the URL where the customer should be redirected once they login. For specific URL, select a different URL option and enter the URL
Walled garden / ranges : set the walled garden domains. You can enter multiple by pressing comma(,).
Per user QoS : To set the max bandwidth allocated for a captive portal user configure this parameter. Note, a value of 0 means this feature is disabled.
Once the configuration is done, click Update.
Note: For this configuration to reflect on a wireless SSID, please apply your VLAN to your SSID to enable the captive portal.
