Setting the maximum number of portal users

Perform this task to control the total number of portal users in the system, and the maximum number of IPv4 or IPv6 portal users on an interface.

If you set the maximum total number smaller than the number of current online portal users on the device, this configuration still takes effect. The online users are not affected but the system forbids new portal users to log in.
