1. If a RADIUS server is selected for authentication, configure the RADIUS
server settings on the switch.
2. If authentication is required, configure the user groups to associate with
each CP.
3. Create (add) the CPs.
4. Configure the CP settings for each CP, such as the verification mode.
5. Associate interfaces with the CP instances.
6. Download the branding images, such as the company logo, to the switch.
The images you download must be accessible from the switch, either on
the system you use to manage the switch or on a server that is on the same
network as the switch.
7. Customize the authentication, logout, and logout success web pages that a
CP user will see.
Dell recommends the use of the Dell OpenManage Administrator to
customize the CP authentication, logout, and logout success pages. A
Preview button is available to allow a preview of the pages that a CP user
will see.
8. If the local database for user authentication is selected, configure the users
on the switch.
9. If a RADIUS server for authentication is selected, add the users to the
database on the RADIUS server. If the Captive Portal clients use DNS or
DHCP services, configure access to the appropriate services using IP
Helper (routed networks) or Layer-2 relay (switched networks).
10. Associate interfaces with the CP instances.
11. Test and verify end-user access over the Captive Portal ports and, if
satisfied all services are available and working correctly, globally enable CP.
NOTE: You must use the web interface to download images.
