web-auth-server source

Function

The web-auth-server source command configures the source interface from which the device sends packets to the web authentication server. This interface must have an IP address used as the source IP address of the packet.

The undo web-auth-server source-interface command removes this source interface.

By default, no source interface from which the device sends packets to the web authentication server is configured.

This command is supported only on the NetEngine 8000 F1A.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

When a web server is deployed in a VPN and the device sends a packet to the web server, the IP address of the source interface configured using the web-auth-server source command is preferentially selected. If no source interface is configured, select the outbound interface with reachable route based on the VPN ID and destination IP address as the source IP address. If the required route is not found, select the IP address of any interface within the VPN as the source IP address.

Precautions

In VS mode, this command is supported only by the admin VS.

Example
