the authentication, clients need to provide the correct username and
password in the Username and Password fields, check the box of I accept
the Term of Use and click the Login button.

With External Web Portal configured, the authentication page will be
provided by the web portal server built on the network. To configure

it is reachable by the EAP.

provided by the external portal server.

list. In this way, clients can access the web portal server before
authenticated. For details about how to configure Free Authentication
Policy, refer to
