【Problem Description】
Issue 1 :
- Have built-in Portal based authentication + LDAP for SSID and Want users not to authenticate again before 24 hours and login automatically.
Issue 2 :
- After configuration done users faced issues and need to re-authenticate again before the delay time end or they can't access the internet.
【Problem Analysis】
Issue 1 :
- We can achieve this requirement by configuration of Station offline delay function :
- After configuration it is mentioned that not all Stations are reauthenticate normally and when I asked if the maximum number is configured I was informed that it is but I found only those two commands configured :
* Enabled the function.
* Set the aging time to 86000 second = about 24 hours
I found about 200 stations connected so recommend to test configure the maximum number to a suitable number in the environment :
sta-offline-delay max-number max-number
Also note that APs are default enabled to force STAs in offline delay state to go offline and allow STAs are allowed to go online after the number of STAs reaches the maximum.
So also test this command :
undo sta-offline-delay full-sta-reject enable
Issue 2 :
- After confirmation, the delay offline commands should work fine if there is no other especial offline reason for terminals. This means that the terminal should be offline normally in order to login without authentication when the delay is active.
【Root Cause】
- Missing configuration
- Normal behavior due to abnormal offline from stations.
【Solution】
- Enable sta-offline-delay function and specify the correct parameters :
- Make sure that the station disconnect normally as when there is an abnormal record the station needs to authenticate again.
