Solved: [Cisco Aironet 3600i Access Point] Can i use Captive Portal?

SorrowLife · ‎04-14-2019

Product / Model Number : Cisco Aironet 3600i Access Point ( AIR-CAP3602i-K-K9 )

System Software Version : 15(3)JF5

This AP has no controller connection.

How do I configure this router to allow Internet connectivity after a quick survey?

For example,
I connect to the AP with the iPhone and show my server's survey page via Captive portal on the iPhone.
And when I complete the survey, this AP will allow my iPhone to connect to the internet.
I want to work with this scenario.

If the content is too long, I would like to read it if it tells the location of the document about the content.

Too hard to me.

plz help.

There are actually different variations of Captive Portals (CP).

I just realized that your AP also contains a CP, how it works is described here: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless-mobility/wlan-security/116897-configure-technology-00.html

This is the lowest possible functionality with the least features.

There are also full captive portal products that you install on a server. That server then plays router, dhcp, dns. authentication, ... all in one. That product would simply be the default router of the network and every client would be automatically get redirected to its portal for authentication.

This is possible, but you require some sort of captive portal solution, which runs either on a local server or in the cloud. The access point itself doesn't provide such a feature.

Thank you very much for your reply.
When I searched on Google, I was able to find a solution called WiFiDog.
Can I tell which document to refer to to upload and apply this solution to this Cisco device?

You would use (probably) the Captive Portal as the primary gateway of the subnet where your guests connect to. All the rest would do the CP.

Thank you for answer.
But I do not understand because of lack of basic knowledge.
Let's search again hard.
