Captive Portal over IPv6
IPv6 is now enabled on the captive portal for user authentication on the Dell controller. For user authentication
use the internal captive portal that is initiated from the controller. A new parameter
captive has been added to
the IPv6 captive portal session ACL.
ipv6 user alias controller6 svc-https captive
Configuring Captive Portal over IPv6
You can configure captive portal over IPv6 (similar to IPv4) using the WebUI or CLI. For more information on
configuration, see “Captive Portal in the Base ArubaOS” on page352.
ArubaOS Support for IPv6 Clients
ArubaOS provides wired or wireless clients using IPv6 addressing with services such as firewall functionality, layer-
2 authentication, and, with the installation of the Policy Enforcement Firewall Next Generation (PEFNG),
identity-based security. The Dell controller does not provide routing or Network Address Translation to IPv6
clients (see “Important Points to Remember” on page 674).
Enabling IPv6
You must enable the IPv6 option on the controller before using any of the IPv6 functions. You can use the ipv6
enable
command to enable the IPv6 processing on the controller. By default, the IPv6 option is disabled.
You can also use the WebUI to enable the IPv6 option as follows:
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Advanced Services > Stateful Firewall page.
2. Select the Global Settings tab.
3. Select the IPv6 Enable check box to enable the IPv6 option.
4. Click the Apply button to apply the configuration.
Supported Network Configuration
Clients can be wired or wireless and use IPv4 and/or IPv6 addressing. ArubaOS requires that the default gateway
for the IPv6 clients be an external router that supports IPv6. The Dell controller itself has an IPv4 address, and
can offer limited routing services to IPv6 clients. It is highly recommended to use an external IPv6 router for a
complete routing experience (dynamic routing and router advertisements). You can use the WebUI or CLI to
display IPv6 client information.
NOTE: This release does not support external captive portal for IPv6. The captive portal authentication, customization of pages,
and other attributes are same as IPv4.
