Hello All,
I configured a Captive Portal Profile within the MAS 2500 of which is associated to the Captive Portal AAA Profile.
Part of my configuration requires me to apply the AAA Profile to all Physical Interfaces and configure the Ports to "Untrusted".
Now, when I plug in my laptop and physically assign a static IP Address to it to match the VLAN ID Interface subnet, it fails to achieve connectivity to my Core Switch. I confirmed that the Trunk between the 2500 and my Core is working fine.
To be able to get my laptop to establish connectivity, I had to change the configuration of the Ports from "Untrusted" to "Trusted".
Now, I assume the purpose for setting my Ports to be in state of "Untrusted" is for the purpose of allowing for an authentication process to take place. However, this seems to be impacting connectivity to my Core.
Is this working as designed, whereby, the Ports need to be in an "Untrusted" state and will eventually allow traffic when the User connecting on that Port has been successfully authenticated?
Thanks!
