Captive portal and Exclude List
When the Nortel SNAS 4050 is configured to function as a captive portal, the
Nortel SNAS 4050 acts as a DNS proxy while clients are in the Red VLAN. The
captive web portal:
• accepts redirected HTTP/HTTPS requests from the clients
• resolves unknown names to a fixed IP address
• receives and manages communication requests from the clients to
unauthorized network resources
