Page 410 highlights

Verifying DNS Resolved IP Addresses for Whitelisted URLs Use the following command to verify the DNS resolved IP addresses for the whitelisted URLs: (host) #show firewall dns-names ap-name Example: (host) #show firewall dns-names ap-name ap135 Firewall DNS names Index Name ----- ---- 0 bugzilla 1 cricinfo 2 yahoo 3 mycorp Id Num-IP List -- ------ ---- 10 1 0.0.0.0 9 0 1 0 6 1 1.1.1.1 Bypassing Captive Portal Landing Page An increasing number of user sessions in Captive Portal pre-authenticated role, repeatedly request the Captive Portal login page from the controller. this impacts the number of browser-based user login requests handled per second by the controller. This eventually delays the loading of the Captive Portal page and logging into Captive Portal. Most of the increased activities are from non-browser based applications running on smart phones and tablets. When this feature is enabled, the controller sends 200 OK status code message to the now-browser based apps so that the apps stop sending repeated requests to the controller. This reduces the load of the httpd process on the controller. This feature is enabled by default. You can disable this feature from the controller CLI. On disabling this feature, non-browser apps continue to request Captive Portal login page from the controller. This increases the load of the httpd process of the controller. (host) (config) #web-server profile (host) (Web Server Configuration) #bypass-cp-landing-page The landing page contains the meta-refresh tag to reload the page using real browser applications.

Bypassing Captive Portal Landing Page

An increasing number of user sessions in Captive Portal pre-authenticated role, repeatedly request the Captive

Portal login page from the controller. this impacts the number of browser-based user login requests handled

per second by the controller. This eventually delays the loading of the Captive Portal page and logging into

Captive Portal. Most of the increased activities are from non-browser based applications running on smart

phones and tablets.

When this feature is enabled, the controller sends 200 OK status code message to the now-browser based apps

so that the apps stop sending repeated requests to the controller. This reduces the load of the

httpd

process

on the controller. This feature is enabled by default.

You can disable this feature from the controller CLI. On disabling this feature, non-browser apps continue to

request Captive Portal login page from the controller. This increases the load of the

httpd

process of the

controller.

(host) (config) #web-server profile

(host) (Web Server Configuration) #bypass-cp-landing-page

The landing page contains the meta-refresh tag to reload the page using real browser applications.
