Hotspot Autorized Dinamic Host

Mon Jan 24, 2011 11:36 pm

I have a small WIFI network based on a mikortik hotspot with users validated by MAC.
The users equipment is mikrotik witha a mascarade.
The problem is that the ip of the users appear in the hotspot as AD with the MAC of the WLAN but with the IP of the PCS anf the hotspot make a traslation.
The normal thing is that alone it was appearing the equipment client once without importing the equipments that exist behind.

Which is the problem..

THANKS

Hotspots need to be the immediate layer 3 gateway of the devices you want to control. You have a layer 3 hop in between - the CPE. Layer 3 hops rewrite MAC addresses, that's how TCP/IP works. You need to either configure the CPEs as bridges, or run the Hotspot on the CPEs.
