Workflow

Authentication application workflows provide system-defined workflows that can be used to create wired or wireless service for both employees and guest users, supporting company devices as well as BYOD devices. Select a workflow (e.g., BYOD Access with MAC and Captive Portal ), click on Begin Now, and complete the steps in the workflow. When you have completed all of the steps, click on the Apply button at the bottom of the workflow to complete the configuration. The BYOD Access with MAC and Captive Portal Workflow is shown below.
