Filtering rules for a VNS

7.5.2 The non-authenticated filter for Captive Portal

The non-authenticated filter should allow access to the Captive Portal page IP address, as well

as to any URLs for the header and footer of the Captive Portal page. The filter should also allow

network access to the IP address of the DNS server and to the Network Address, the Gateway,

of the VNS (the VNS Gateway is used as the IP for the Captive Portal page).

You can also set up filtering rules to allow access, before authentication, to explicitly defined

areas of the network. Then you must deny all other access.

Redirection and Captive Portal credentials apply to HTTP traffic only. A wireless device user

attempting to reach websites other than those specifically allowed in the Non-Authenticated

Filter will be redirected to the allowed destinations. Most HTTP traffic outside of those defined

in the non-authenticated filter will be redirected.

All other network access will be controlled after the user is authenticated, when the filter ID or

default filtering rules are applied. The wireless device user who does not authenticate will not

get a wireless session.

Define filtering rules for a non-authenticated filter

1. In the Virtual Network Configuration screen, highlight the VNS name and click on the

Filtering tab. For a VNS with SSID network assignment, the Captive Portal version of the

Filtering screen appears.

2. Using the Filter ID drop-down list, select Non-Authenticated.

The Filtering screen automatically provides a "Deny All" rule already in place. Use this rule

as the final rule in the Non-Authenticated Filter for Captive Portal.
