Captive portal login page on Master, but nothing on local?

  • 1.  Captive portal login page on Master, but nothing on local?

    Posted Jan 29, 2014 10:56 AM

    Cant even get the defualt CP page showing on the local controller, nevermind any custom ones.  Works fine on the Master.  I am able to switch between CP on either controller as I have an ap terminating on both and have confirmed that I am connected an in a guest login role on whichver controller I happen to be connected to.

     

    Not sure where to start, as I had assumed the only config I would have to do on the local would be if I wanted to add custom pages.

     

    Any suggestions?

    Do you have a layer 3 interface on the local for the user subnet?

    No.. all user subnets are layer 2 and are trunked to both controllers.

    You need to add an IP on the local controller for the redirect to work correctly.

    For captive portal to work on the controllers the VLAN interface that is connecting the client will need to have a IP address. Example if you are using VLAN 100 to connect the clients then you will need to set on both controller:-

     

    vlan 100

    ip address 10.10.100.X subnet mask

    lol.. sorry, thought that was a bit too obvious..

     

    Id assumed there was something a bit more specific I had to do on the local contoller to get CP working!  All ip/vlan related info etc, is fully configured on both boxes.. both accept clients and work ok, just no CP webpage on local (not even default).

    Are you able to see the captive portal if you navigate to 1.1.1.1 in the web browser?
