In short, you can't. There is very little (nothing?) you can do to prevent
someone from attempting to authenticate. Is this behaviour causing you
particular problems though? Load issues on your RADIUS server or other
infrastructure?
Our ISP has a system that attempts to control this behaviour though. It tracks
the login attempts from each Calling-Station-Id. If the rate of failed attempts
goes over a certain threshold then the user will actually be accepted for a 15
minute session, but restricted to a captive portal which presents a web page
with troubleshooting tips. This may help remove some of the load from your
RADIUS servers at the expense of tying up ports on your NAS. There's still
nothing you can do though if the modem just disconnects and tries to reconnect
again.
currently having this issue where a mac adress is
constantly trying to authenticate after getting login
incorrect. Any help is appreciated.. Thanks in
advance ...
