Configuring BAS-IP for unsolicited portal packets sent to the portal authentication server

If the device runs Portal 2.0, the unsolicited packets sent to the portal authentication server must carry the BAS-IP attribute. If the device runs Portal 3.0, the unsolicited packets sent to the portal authentication server must carry the BAS-IP or BAS-IPv6 attribute.

If IPv4 portal authentication is enabled on an interface, you can configure the BAS-IP attribute on the interface. If IPv6 portal authentication is enabled on an interface, you can configure the BAS-IPv6 attribute on the interface.

The device uses the configured BAS-IP or BAS-IPv6 address as the source IP address of the portal notifications sent to the portal authentication server. If you do not configure the BAS-IP or BAS-IPv6 attribute, the source IP address is the IP address of the packet's output interface.

During a re-DHCP portal authentication or mandatory user logout process, the device sends portal notification packets to the portal authentication server. For the authentication or logout process to complete, make sure the BAS-IP/BAS-IPv6 attribute is the same as the device IP or IPv6 address specified on the portal authentication server.

To configure the BAS-IP attribute for unsolicited portal packets sent to the portal authentication server:

Step

Command

Remarks

1. Enter system view.

N/A

2. Enter interface view.

N/A

3. Configure BAS-IP for IPv4 portal packets sent to the portal authentication server.

portal bas-ip ipv4-address

By default:

  • The BAS-IP attribute of an IPv4 portal response packet sent to the portal authentication server is the source IPv4 address of the packet.

  • The BAS-IP attribute of an IPv4 portal notification packet sent to the portal authentication server is the IPv4 address of the packet's output interface.

4. Configure BAS-IPv6 for IPv6 portal packets sent to the portal authentication server.

portal bas-ipv6 ipv6-address

By default:

  • The BAS-IPv6 attribute of an IPv6 portal response packet sent to the portal authentication server is the source IPv6 address of the packet.

  • The BAS-IPv6 attribute of an IPv6 portal notification packet sent to the portal authentication server is the IPv6 address of the packet's output interface.
