Example: Configuring re-DHCP portal authentication
Network configuration
As shown in Figure 66, the host is directly connected to the switch (the access device). The host obtains an IP address through the DHCP server. A portal server acts as both a portal authentication server and a portal Web server. A RADIUS server acts as the authentication/accounting server.
Configure re-DHCP portal authentication. Before passing the authentication, the host is assigned a private IP address. After passing the authentication, the host gets a public IP address and can access network resources.
Figure 66: Network diagram
Prerequisites
Configure IP addresses for the switch and servers as shown in Figure 66 and make sure the host, switch, and servers can reach each other.
Configure the RADIUS server correctly to provide authentication and accounting functions.
Restrictions and guidelines
For re-DHCP portal authentication, configure a public address pool (20.20.20.0/24) and a private address pool (10.0.0.0/24) on the DHCP server. (Details not shown.)
For re-DHCP portal authentication:
The switch must be configured as a DHCP relay agent.
The portal-enabled interface must be configured with a primary IP address (a public IP address) and a secondary IP address (a private IP address).
For information about DHCP relay agent configuration, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.
Make sure the IP address of the portal device added on the portal server is the public IP address (20.20.20.1) of the switch's interface connecting the host. The private IP address range for the IP address group associated with the portal device is the private subnet 10.0.0.0/24 where the host resides. The public IP address range for the IP address group is the public subnet 20.20.20.0/24.
Procedure
Configure a RADIUS scheme:
# Create a RADIUS scheme named rs1 and enter its view.
<Switch> system-view [Switch] radius scheme rs1
# Specify the primary authentication server and primary accounting server, and configure the keys for communication with the servers.
[Switch-radius-rs1] primary authentication 192.168.0.113 [Switch-radius-rs1] primary accounting 192.168.0.113 [Switch-radius-rs1] key authentication simple radius [Switch-radius-rs1] key accounting simple radius
# Exclude the ISP domain name from the username sent to the RADIUS server.
[Switch-radius-rs1] user-name-format without-domain [Switch-radius-rs1] quit
# Enable RADIUS session control.
[Switch] radius session-control enable
Configure an authentication domain:
# Create an ISP domain named dm1 and enter its view.
[Switch] domain dm1
# Configure AAA methods for the ISP domain.
[Switch-isp-dm1] authentication portal radius-scheme rs1 [Switch-isp-dm1] authorization portal radius-scheme rs1 [Switch-isp-dm1] accounting portal radius-scheme rs1 [Switch-isp-dm1] quit
# Configure domain dm1 as the default ISP domain. If a user enters the username without the ISP domain name at login, the authentication and accounting methods of the default domain are used for the user.
[Switch] domain default enable dm1
Configure DHCP relay and authorized ARP:
# Configure DHCP relay.
[Switch] dhcp enable [Switch] dhcp relay client-information record [Switch] interface vlan-interface 100 [Switch–Vlan-interface100] ip address 20.20.20.1 255.255.255.0 [Switch–Vlan-interface100] ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 sub [Switch-Vlan-interface100] dhcp select relay [Switch-Vlan-interface100] dhcp relay server-address 192.168.0.112
# Enable authorized ARP.

Configure portal authentication:
# Configure a portal authentication server.
[Switch] portal server newpt [Switch-portal-server-newpt] ip 192.168.0.111 key simple portal [Switch-portal-server-newpt] port 50100 [Switch-portal-server-newpt] quit
# Configure a portal Web server.
[Switch] portal web-server newpt [Switch-portal-websvr-newpt] url http://192.168.0.111:8080/portal [Switch-portal-websvr-newpt] quit
# Enable re-DHCP portal authentication on VLAN-interface 100.
[Switch] interface vlan-interface 100 [Switch–Vlan-interface100] portal enable method redhcp
# Specify portal Web server newpt on VLAN-interface 100.
[Switch–Vlan-interface100] portal apply web-server newpt
# Configure the BAS-IP as 20.20.20.1 for portal packets sent from VLAN-interface 100 to the portal authentication server.
[Switch–Vlan-interface100] portal bas-ip 20.20.20.1 [Switch–Vlan-interface100] quit
Verifying the configuration
# Verify that the portal configuration has taken effect.

Before passing the authentication, a user that uses the HPE iNode client can access only the authentication page http://192.168.0.111:8080/portal. All Web requests from the user will be redirected to the authentication page. After passing the authentication, the user can access other network resources.
# After the user passes authentication, use the following command to display information about the portal user.
