Guest Splash Page When Bridged @AP

[Terren_Crider]

Is there any way to redirect users to a splash page when the network is bridged at the access point and not the controller?

No problerm @ all....

What you'd do is that you bridge@controller for clients in unauthenticated state and redirect them to the splash portal.
If they hit accept on the portal they switch to authenticated state which could be a different role = topology i,e bridge@AP.

My problem here is that I am running version 9.x.x firmware (due to 36xx series APs). Thanks for the info, though!

With Bridged@AP, the only Captive Portal/Spash page integration method is Firewall Friendly External Captive Portal (FFECP). The Splash page/webserver needs to integrate with the FFECP protocol definition. Specification details on FFECP covered in the ExtremeWireless(TM) integration guide:

This implementation is already directly supported by some 3rd party vendors such as PurpleWifi.

Note: If using ExtremeCloud(TM), as of 3.21.01, Splash page facility is directly integrated in the Network services definition.

Hi Terren,

Here is the user guide for version 10.11. Please refer page 176 to "Configuring a Captive Portal on an AP".
