Web and MAC Authentication Terminology Terminology Authorized-Client VLAN: Like the Unauthorized-Client VLAN, this is a conventional, static, untagged, port-based VLAN previously configured on the switch by the System Administrator. The intent in using this VLAN is to provide authenticated clients with network access and services. When the client connection terminates, the port drops its membership in this VLAN. Authentication Server: The entity providing an authentication service to the switch. Authenticator: In ProCurve switch applications, a device such as a ProCurve Switch 8212zl that requires a client or device to provide the proper credentials (MAC address, or username and password) before being allowed access to the network. CHAP: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol. Also known as "CHAP-RADIUS". Client: In this application, an end-node device such as a management station, workstation, or mobile PC linked to the switch through a point-to-point LAN link. Redirect URL: A System Administrator-specified web page presented to an authorized client following Web Authentication. ProCurve recommends specifying this URL when configuring Web Authentication on a switch. Refer to aaa port-access web-based [e] < port-list > [redirect-url < url >] on page 3-27. Static VLAN: A VLAN that has been configured as "permanent" on the switch by using the CLI vlan < vid > command or the Menu interface. Unauthorized-Client VLAN: A conventional, static, untagged, port-based VLAN previously configured on the switch by the System Administrator. It is used to provide limited network access and services to clients who are not authenticated. 3-11
