(Optional) Configuring Web Push

Context

When a user sends an HTTP packet to access a web page for the first time after the user is successfully authenticated, the device forcibly redirects the user to a specified web page. In addition to pushing advertisement pages, the device obtains user terminal information through the HTTP packets sent by users, and applies the information to other services. There are two ways to push web pages:

URL: pushes the URL of the specified web page.
URL template: pushes a URL template. The URL template must have been created and contains the URL of the pushed web page and URL parameters.

For the S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731S-H, S5731-S, S5731S-S, S5732-H, S6730-H, S6730S-H, S6730-S, S6730S-S, S6720-HI, and S5720-HI, the forcible web page push function takes effect only for the first HTTP or HTTPS packet sent from users. If an application that actively sends HTTP or HTTPS packets is installed on a user terminal and the terminal has sent HTTP or HTTPS packets before the user accesses a web page, the user is unaware of the web page push process.

The forcible web page push function takes effect only when it is used together with a redirect ACL for switches excluding S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731S-H, S5731-S, S5731S-S, S5732-H, S6730-H, S6730S-H, S6730-S, S6730S-S, S6720-HI, and S5720-HI. If a redirect ACL exists in the user table, a web page is forcibly pushed when HTTP packets from users match the redirect ACL rule. Usually, you can configure the RADIUS server to authorize the Huawei extended RADIUS attribute HW-Redirect-ACL or HW-IPv6-Redirect-ACL to users for redirect ACL implementation, or run the redirect-acl command to configure a redirect ACL.

Procedure

Configure the URL template.
1. Run the system-view command to enter the system view.
2. Run the url-template name template-name command to create a URL template and enter the URL template view.
  By default, no URL template exists on the device.
3. Run the url [ push-only ] url-string command to configure the redirect URL corresponding to the Portal server.
4. Run the url-parameter { redirect-url redirect-url-value | sysname sysname-value | user-ipaddress user-ipaddress-value | user-mac user-mac-value | login-url url-key url } ^* command to set the parameters carried in the URL.
  By default, a URL does not carry parameters.
5. Run the url-parameter mac-address format delimiter delimiter { normal | compact } command to set the MAC address format in the URL.
  By default, the MAC address format in a URL is XXXXXXXXXXXX.
6. Run the parameter { start-mark parameter-value | assignment-mark parameter-value | isolate-mark parameter-value } ^* command to set the characters in the URL.
  By default, the start character is ?, assignment character is =, and delimiter is &.
7. Run the quit command to return to the system view.
If web pages are pushed in URL mode, this step can be skipped.
Configure the Web push function.
1. Run the aaa command to enter the AAA view.
2. Run the domain domain-name command to create an AAA domain and enter the AAA domain view.
  The device has two default domains: default and default_admin. The default domain is used by common access users and the default_admin domain is used by administrators.
3. Run the force-push { url-template template-name | url url-address } command to enable the forcible URL template or URL push function.
