Sorry – should have read through emails before responding earlier ;)

 

To answer your question a little better, yes FreeRadius supports CoA requests 
but you’ll have to write something to automate/interface to it …

Yeah, I'm doing it directly into the database. Looks like FreeRADIUS has some 
functions to proxy CoA/Disconnect requests though, although poorly documented, 
so I'm digging into that. Thanks for the direction, definitely helped!

I meant on the MT. As for radius, how does the radius get attributes set? Are 
you just accessing the db directly? If you don't have access to the radius 
server, it would be difficult as the send function is a manual command. But you 
could always log into the MT and knock it off through CLI or API.

Because I might not have access to SSH/CLI on that RADIUS server if it's not a 
server I control. I'm trying to find a way that isn't reliant on Mikrotik as 
the NAS, seems like the disconnect packet is the right way. Looks like maybe it 
can be done using unlang or the rlm_perl/python modules to trigger based on 
some other event though.. still messing with it.

Why wouldn't it come from the radius you configured? Or why not add another ip 
as another radius that only accepts incoming requests if you don't want to use 
the regular radius? Alternatively, it can be done through cli on ssh or through 
the API.

Hmm, well after playing with it, it seems that Mikrotik doesn't like the 
incoming RADIUS commands being sent unless it originates from the RADIUS server 
it is configured to use, which makes life difficult. Is this the solution 
everyone here is using to force a refresh of attributes?

That certainly sounds like the best solution. Thanks!

PPPOE can be dropped with an incoming radius command.

How are you handling changes to your services today if you're using PPPoE?

For example, let's say a customer is receiving specific attributes to set their 
speed, or IP address, or whether they should be redirected to a splash page. If 
you change one of these attributes, what is your current strategy for forcing a 
re-auth to update the attributes? Seems like it is pretty easy while you're on 
the phone with a customer to either login to your own gear and reauth the 
session, or tell them to reboot their router, or whatever their authenticated 
device is. But if they are disabled and they make a payment on a splash page, 
it seems like it would be likely to generate a service call if the splash page 
tried telling them to do something like reboot their router or radio.
