That is almost perfectly correct, but you have to set up the DHCP server in MT for the Hotspot gateway/clients. Also choose which interface you would want the HotSpot to run from. MAC authentication is easy and very effective! You can shape the traffic as well within the Hotspot.
Its just great stuff IMHO Mac Dearman -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anthony Will Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2007 10:52 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] MT hotspot I could be way off base here. I dont run a hotspot with MT at this time but I have played with it. You might want to try http://forums.mikrotik.com/ for help. If i remember correctly when you create a hotspot server it creates a DHCP server for this "virtual interface" and thus it is a independent DHCP server for that hotspot. Then you could have the MT handle the IP leases. Also I believe that if you use MAC authentication for the hotspot what you are trying would work.
