Configuring an Authentication Mode for IPoE Access

Authentication technologies allow a user terminal to be authenticated by submitting the username and password to the NetEngine 8000 F. The NetEngine 8000 F supports multiple authentication technologies.

Applicable Environment

Web authentication requires a user who wants to access the network to enter the username and password on the authentication page of a web authentication server for authentication.

Fast authentication is a simplified form of web authentication in which a user accesses the authentication page of a web authentication server for authentication, without entering the username and password. The NetEngine 8000 F then automatically generates the username and password for authentication based on information about the BAS interface that the user accesses.

Binding authentication allows the NetEngine 8000 F to automatically generate the username and password based on the physical location of a user.

Configuring Web Authentication or Fast Authentication: Web authentication requires a user who wants to access the network to enter the username and password on the authentication page of a web authentication server for authentication. Fast authentication is an authentication mode in which a user accesses the authentication page of a web authentication server for authentication, without entering the username and password.

Configuring HTTPS Redirect for Web Authentication: This section describes how to configure a BRAS to redirect HTTPS access requests.

Configuring Binding Authentication: In addition to web authentication, users can also be authenticated using binding authentication.

Verifying the Authentication Mode Configuration for IPoE Access: After an authentication mode is configured, you can view the authentication mode by checking the domain configuration.
