In cases where there are hubs, Layer 2 switches, or APs between users and the access devices and an
authenticated user moves from the current access port to another Layer 2-portal-authentication-enabled
port of the device without logging off, the user will not have access as long as the original port is still
active. This occurs because the original port maintains the authentication information of the user and, by
default, the device does not permit such users online access from another port by default.
When support for portal user moving is enabled on the device, either of the following occurs:
• If the original port is still up and the two ports belong to the same VLAN, the device allows the user
to continue to access the network without re-authentication, and uses the new port information for
user accounting.
• If the original port is down or the two ports belong to different VLANs, the device removes the
authentication information of the user from the original port and authenticates the user on the new
port.
To enable support for portal user moving:
Ste
p
Command
Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enable support for portal
user moving.
portal move-mode auto Disabled by default.
NOTE:
For a user with authorization information configured, after the user moves from a port to another, the
device tries to assi
g
n the authorization information to the new port. If the operation fails, the device deletes
the user's information from the original port and re-authenticates the user on the new port.
Configuring RADIUS related attributes
Only Layer 3 portal authentication supports this feature.
Specifying NAS-Port-Type for an interface
NAS-Port-Type is a standard RADIUS attribute for indicating a user access port type. With this attribute
specified on an interface, when a portal user logs on from the interface, the device uses the specified
NAS-Port-Type value as that in the RADIUS request to be sent to the RADIUS server. If NAS-Port-Type is not
specified, the device uses the access port type obtained.
If there are multiple network devices between the Broadband Access Server (the portal authentication
access device) and a portal client, the BAS might not be able to obtain a user's correct access port
information. For example, for a wireless client using portal authentication, the access port type obtained
by the BAS might be the type of the wired port that authenticates the user. To make sure that the BAS
delivers the right access port information to the RADIUS server, specify the NAS-Port-Type according to
the practical access environment.
