Use this parameter to specify whether the VLAN ID of the network where a user is authenticated is used by the XML interface to verify user requests. This is relevant, for example, in scenarios where several Public Spot SSIDs are separated by means of VLAN and a one-time authentication at one of these SSIDs should not automatically entitle the user to access the other SSIDs.
Note: The parameter requires that you have also enabled the setup parameters 2.24.40.1 (the XML interface itself) and 2.24.40.2 (authentication by the XML interface via an internal or an external RADIUS server) .
- SNMP ID:
- 2.24.47
- Console path:
- Setup > Public-Spot-Module
- Possible values:
- No
- The Public Spot does not take the VLAN ID into account when verifying users. A one-time authentication entitles a user to access all of the SSIDs managed by the Public Spot. As long as the user account is valid, authentication is automatic.
- Yes
- The Public Spot takes the VLAN ID into account when verifying users. The Public Spot stores the VLAN ID to the column of the same name in the station table, assuming that the authentication by the RADIUS server was successful. This VLAN ID is the value for SOURCE_VLAN in the login request from the external gateway. If the Public Spot user moves to a network with a different VLAN ID, the Public Spot updates their station-table entry to "unauthenticated" and prompts the user to authenticate at the RADIUS server again. In this case, the user receives the sign-in page to authenticate again.
