Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To ensure normal communication between the device and Portal server, run the source-ip command to configure a source IP address on the device.

If the device is configured with a loopback IP address and a common IP address, the device can communicate with the Portal server only when the loopback IP address and common IP address are the same. The source-ip command configures a source IP address on the device in the web-auth-server view to allow communication between the device and a Portal server.

Precautions

Ensure that the configured source IP address is the device IP address. The source IP address cannot be all 0s, all 1s, class D address, class E address, or loopback address.

Example

# Set the source IP address for communication between the device and a Portal server to 192.168.1.100 in the Portal server template huawei.

[HUAWEI] web-auth-server huawei
