The dot1x url command configures a redirect URL in 802.1X authentication.
The undo dot1x url command cancels the redirect URL configuration in 802.1X authentication.
By default, no redirect URL is configured in 802.1X authentication.
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|

Specifies a redirect URL. |
The value is a string of 1 to 247 case-sensitive characters without spaces and question marks (?). If the string is enclosed in double quotation marks (" "), the string can contain spaces. |
Usage Scenario
In the early stage of network deployment, 802.1X client deployment is difficult and requires heavy workload. You can run the dot1x url command to set a redirect URL to the web page address for downloading the 802.1X client. When a user attempts to access an IP subnet that requires authentication, the device redirects the user to the redirect URL where the user can download and install the 802.1X client software.
Follow-up Procedure
Run the free-rule command to configure the network segment where the redirect URL used in 802.1X authentication belongs or configure the IP address segment of the DNS server as an authentication-free IP subnet.
Precautions
This command applies when users use the 802.1X client software that is not provided by the system.
Wireless users do not support the redirect URL configuration in 802.1X authentication.
The device does not support the triggering of a redirect URL through HTTPS packets.
