(Optional) Configuring the Quiet Function in Portal Authentication

Context

After the quiet timer is enabled, if the number of Portal authentication failures exceeds the specified value within 60s, the device keeps the Portal authentication user in quiet state for a period of time. During the quiet period, the device discards Portal authentication requests from the user. This prevents the impact of frequent authentications on the system.

When the number of quiet entries reaches the maximum number, the device does not allow new users who are not in the quiet table to access the network.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run portal quiet-period

    The quiet timer is enabled.

    By default, the quiet timer is enabled.

  3. Run portal quiet-times fail-times

    The maximum number of authentication failures within 60s before a Portal authentication user enters the quiet state is set.

    By default, the device allows a maximum of ten authentication failures within 60s before a Portal authentication user is kept in quiet state.

  4. Run portal timer quiet-period quiet-period-value

    The quiet period for Portal authentication is set.

    By default, the quiet period for Portal authentication is 60s.
