Configuring Port Web Authentication (PWA)

Configuring PWA on the switch consists of:

• Setting the IP address which the user will authenticate to on the switch
• Optionally enabling PWA enhanced mode and configure guest networking privileges (not supported when auto-tracking is enabled) (S-, K-Series)
• Enabling PWA on the port
• Globally enabling PWA on the switch
• Setting the authentication mode

Port Web Authentication (PWA) Configuration describes how to configure PWA authentication. Unspecified parameters use their default values.
