The free-rule-template command creates an authentication-free rule profile and displays the authentication-free rule profile view.
By default, the device has a built-in authentication-free rule profile named default_free_rule.
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
name free-rule-template-name |
Specifies the name of an authentication-free rule profile. |
Currently, the device supports only one authentication-free rule profile, that is, the built-in profile default_free_rule. |
Usage Scenario
To meet basic network access requirements of users who have not passed authentication, the users need to obtain some network access rights without authentication, for example, download 802.1X client software and update the antivirus database. After creating an authentication-free rule profile using the free-rule-template command, you can configure authentication-free rules in the profile to allow the users to access the specified network resources without authentication.
Follow-up Procedure
Run the free-rule command in the authentication-free rule profile view to configure authentication-free rules for users.
Precautions
Currently, the device supports only one authentication-free rule profile, that is, the built-in profile default_free_rule.
For wireless users, the configured authentication-free rule in an authentication-free rule profile takes effect only after the profile is bound to an authentication profile using the free-rule-template command in the authentication profile view.
For wired users, an authentication-free rule profile takes effect for all wired users after it is created in the system view. The authentication-free rule profile does not need to be bound to an authentication profile using the free-rule-template command in the authentication profile view.
