1.2 Applications
Basic Scenario of Web
Authentication
Basic layer-2 authentication scenario, where a NAS, portal server, and RADIUS
server constitute an authentication system which connects a client with the NAS
through the layer-2 network.
1.2.1 Basic Scenario of Web Authentication
Scenario
See Figure 1-1.
Deploy a Web authentication scheme on the NAS.
The client connected to the NAS needs to pass Web authentication before accessing the Internet.
Figure 1-1 Networking Topology of Web Authentication
Web authentication is applicable to both layer-2 and layer-3 networks. At layer 3, the source MAC address and
VID of a packet are changed after it is routed, but the source IP address remains the same as the only identifier of
a client. Therefore, the binding policy of Web authentication on layer-3 devices must adopt the IP-only binding
mode. Here, layer-2 NAS is used as an example.
RG-SAM program is installed on the RADIUS server. RG-ePortal program is installed on the portal server.
