I want a different solution whether it is mac auth or something else that will use my radius server and use my billing server for accounting. Joshua S.

Aren't you already doing authentication in RADIUS? What are you really trying to accomplish with "authentication?" On 7/13/2011 5:37 PM, Cameron Crum wrote: What don't you like about radius? MT can do straight MAC auth through radius on the wireless interface. I'm not real sure how your radius server is going to provision anything if it isn't doing the authentication. What are you using as a billing/provisioning platform?

Currently we use pppoe and I would like to get away from it. I use mikrotik AP's and my network is OSPF routed. I tried using hotspot mac auth and it worked and still works in some of my AP's but some of the more crowded locations fell on their face. I am looking for either a way to improve that method or I need a centralized box that would control authentication and let my billing server and radius server still provision speeds and determine that a customer has paid their bill. Currently I am open to suggestions of what authentication options are available with my mikrotik equipment and I am willing to pay consultation fees if necessary when I get an Idea that will work like I want it to. Also, I hand out both private IP's and public IP's only when the customer requests them, and currently if a customer requests a public static I create a custom profile in radius and they get the only IP in a custom pool setup for that profile. Thank you in advance for any and all advice and ideas. Regards, Joshua S.
