• To use the local portal server of the access device, specify the IP address of a Layer 3 interface on
the device as the portal server's IP address. The specified interface must be reachable to the client.
Follow these guidelines when you specify a portal server for Layer 3 authentication:
• For local portal server configuration, the keywords key, port, and url are usually not required and,
if configured, do not take effect.
• To make sure the device can send packets to the portal server in an MPLS VPN, specify the VPN
instance to which the portal server belongs when specifying the portal server on the device.

Configuring a local portal server is required only for local portal authentication. During local portal
authentication, the local portal server pushes authentication pages to users. You can define the
authentication pages for users. Otherwise, the default authentication pages will be used during the
authentication process.
Customizing authentication pages
Customized authentication pages exist in the form of HTML files. You can compress them and then save
them in the storage medium of the access device.
