Encrypt

Select or deselect this check box to specify whether to encrypt the service template.

Default Vlan Tag

l      If you select Yes, you configure the link type of the ports in VLAN 1 as hybrid and specify that packets to be sent out from VLAN 1 carry the VLAN tag. This configuration requires that no trunk port exists in the VLAN. If there is any trunk port in VLAN 1, you need to change the link type of the port to access.

l      If you select No, the above operations are not performed for the ports in VLAN 1.

Item

Description

Scheme Name

Specify a name for the RADIUS scheme to be created.

Service Type

Select the type of the RADIUS server.

Two types are available: standard and enhanced:

l      extended: Specifies extended RADIUS server, which is usually a CAMS server. In this case, the RADIUS client (access device) and the RADIUS server exchange packets based on the specifications and packet format definitions of a private RADIUS protocol.

l      standard: Specifies the standard RADIUS server. In this case, the RADIUS client (access device) and the RADIUS server exchange packets based on the specifications and packet format definitions of the standard RADIUS protocols (RFC 2138, RFC 2139, and the updates).

Authentication IP

Type the IP address of the RADIUS authentication server.

Authentication UDP Port

Type the UDP port number of the RADIUS authentication server.

Authentication Key

Redirect-URL

Type the URL of the portal authentication server to which all the HTTP requests in the segment are redirected.

Method

Specify the portal authentication method to be used, which can be:

l      Direct: Before authentication, a user manually configures an IP address or directly obtains a public IP address through DHCP, and can access only the portal server and predefined free websites. After passing authentication, the user can access the network resources. The authentication process of direct authentication is relatively simple than that of the re-DHCP authentication.

l      Layer3: Layer 3 authentication is similar to direct authentication but allows Layer 3 forwarding devices to be present between the authentication client and the access device.

l      Redhcp: Before authentication, a user gets a private IP address through DHCP and can access only the portal server and predefined free websites. After passing authentication, the user is allocated a public IP address and can access the network resources.
