Enterasys Port Web Authentication System Authentication Inet Address

1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.8.1.10

The IP address bound to the etsysPwaSystemAuthHostName. The format of this object is defined in the etsysPwaSystemAuthInetAddressType object. This address MUST be supplied for authentication to work. This is a globally unique address and must be the same value configured into every authenticating switch in the domain. Each switch terminates any IP traffic destined to this etsysPwaSystemAuthInetAddress. If the port is in either promiscousAuto(4) or auto(2) mode, described in the etsysPwaControlledPortControl object, then the local switch in question responds to http requests with a login page. If the port is in any other mode, then all traffic destined for etsysPwaSystemAuthInetAddress is discarded. Please note that neither the etsysPwaSystemAuthHostName object nor this object refer to any specific machine in the network. These objects are always relative to the connection between an end station and a switch. Traffic destined for this IP is never seen over interswitch links.
