Is it possible to cap a pppoe user account’s data download/upload using limit-bytes-in & limit-bytes-out?
The ideal scenario would be for the user to transfer say 2GB of data and then have his pppoe account disabled.
you can do this .. with Mikrotik 2.8 n above!!
How would you go about doing this?
you can do this while creating a username & password under ppp - secret .
Limit bytes In / bytes Out
Regards,
I’ve done this before, but the problem is that once the limit is reached the connection disconnects and a reconnect will allow the account to start downloading the same amount as before.
I would like the account to disconnect (which it does) and then have the account disabled or something else useful like a new ip address assigned which you could then route into a black hole with zero bandwidth.
you need to install a billing system to manage such things …
did you try it with the newest version of MT OS ?
Regards,
I tried it with 2.8 but I assume the functionality is exactly the same.
A billing system that integrates into mikrotik any ideas?
you should use radius and manage it through a database. try php/MySQL
