Yeah, I just don’t want to manage reservations. We want the slickest least fingerprints on it solution. Least amount of provisioning, records, database etc etc. We already control Layer 2 completely and we have to provision Layer 2 each time a customer signs up. That is enough access control for me.
We want them to be able to plug and play without a username or password or anything.

You can also set the unauthenticated pool timeout. I think default is 3 minutes but IIRC 1 minute is available. We’ve had cases where the customer authenticated then just waited a couple minutes and were online with a public IP. We also do DHCP reservations using RADIUS. The Patriot authenticates to RADIUS which returns a Framed-IP-Address value and away we go.

From: Charles Boening Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2015 11:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] dhcpatriot We have had a DHCPatriot system for about 5 years. We love it. It’s essentially a captive portal. When a user first connects, they get a private IP and policy routing forces them to the portal. When the user authenticates, the system uses a local user database or RADIUS to authenticate the them and if successful, ties the MAC address to a username. Now that the user is known, they reboot their device (or release/renew or wait a few minutes) and the system assigns an IP address from the authenticated address pool. Infoblox looks like it has a few more features (some DNS and IPAM stuff). If you’re in the market for something like the DHCPatriot system, I recommend getting a demo. __________________________________ Charles Boening Network Manager 800-858-2399 | Office [email protected] www.cot.net | Find us on Facebook __________________________________ Cal-Ore | Real.

Infoblox has a nice DHCP server too. On May 27, 2015 4:34 PM, "Chuck McCown" <[email protected]> wrote: Anyone know anything about this product? http://www.network1.net/products/dhcpatriot/
