Bypassing Captive Portal with Bulk MAC Upload

VikingsTech — Wed, 08 Jan 2025 15:13:05 GMT

With another popular systems management dashboard, I'm able to activate Captive Portal on an SSID, set up a group policy that bypasses captive portal, and bulk add MAC addresses in the group policy. I have approximately 1,000 mac addresses that need to be added. I do not use a radius server.

How is it possible with ExtremeCloud IQ to do the same?

All I am seeing is where I can set up a policy and check the box to bypass CWP.. but I have to add MAC addresses one by one.

Hello @VikingsTech,

Is this what you are referring to in User Group?

If not, please provide screen show or reproduction steps so that we may look into it.

I am using Captive Portal to block unwanted users so I do not have to have a password on the SSID. I DO NOT want any users logging in with the captive portal. Unless I'm not understanding correctly - adding users under User Group will not help me. I want to "whitelist" devices using their MAC address.
Any authorized devices in the district, I just want them to bypass the captive portal completely.
