In Portal authentication application, if communication between the device and Portal server is interrupted due to a network failure or Portal server failure, new Portal authentication users cannot go online, and online Portal users cannot go offline normally.
The Portal server detection function enables the device to generate logs and alarms for network faults and Portal server faults.
There are two Portal server detection modes: Portal-based and HTTP-based. In Portal-based Portal server detection mode, the Portal server must use the Portal protocol and support sending Portal heartbeat packets. If the Portal server does not meet these requirements, you can configure the HTTP-based detection mode. In this way, if the device detects that the Portal server is Down, the device grants new users the corresponding network access rights.
When two Portal servers work in active/standby mode or the Portal escape function is configured, enable the Portal server detection function on the device.
