clients to the authentication page at the listening IP address.
Use undo portal local-server ip to restore the default.

Parameters
ip-address: Listening IP address of the local portal server. This IP address is that of a Layer 3 interface on
the access device and is routable to from the portal client.
Usage guidelines
HP recommends configuring a loopback interface's address as the listening IP address because:
• The status of a loopback interface is stable. This can avoid authentication page access failures
caused by interface failures.
