external Captive portal and AP Groups with NGCT5760

[Jorge Cantillo]

Hi team,

I wonder if you can help me with that:

The first question is: I have to configure on a CT5760 a SSID with captive portal. The captive portal is going to be an external server, is it possible?.

The other question is how can i configure AP groups on this models? .. I can do these tasks with these NG wireless controllers? any configuration example?

Thanks a lot in advance,

The first question is: I have to configure on a CT5760 a SSID with captive portal. The captive portal is going to be an external server, is it possible?.

If you refer, external web authentication, yes it is possible. Probably Readme file for the WebAuthBundle software (see attached) gives some useful information on this.

The other question is how can i configure AP groups on this models? .. I can do these tasks with these NG wireless controllers? any configuration example?

Here how you can configure an AP group via CLI & then assign AP to this AP group.

5760(config)#

ap group TEST
 wlan XYZ
  vlan 100

 wlan ABC
  vlan 200
 

5760#ap name LAP1 ap-groupname TEST
Changing the AP's group name will cause the AP to reboot.
Are you sure you want to continue? (y/n)[y]: y

Hi,

Between ,It is also possible to use GUI without any issue for configuring all these things in latest images of NG for simplicity. For configuring AP groups , Go to Configuration > Wireless > Access Point > Ap Group.

For external web-auth where page is hosted somewhere else:

config)#parameter-map type webauth webparalocal type webauth
 redirect for-login http://10.10.105.2/webauth/login_changed.html
 redirect on-success http://10.10.105.2/webauth/loginsuccess.html
 redirect on-failure http://10.10.105.2/webauth/loginFail.html
 redirect portal ipv4 10.10.105.2

Include this parameter map in the SSID configuration.This is also possible via GUI.

Regards

Dhiresh
