When running user-manager on a CHR, what is the limit of number of connections for each p- license level?
For normal RouterOS licenses, there is a limit specified in a table, and for >50 connections a level 6 license is required.
But in the CHR licensing table there is only mention of speed, not other features like user-manager connections.
Is it unlimited even for a 1Gbps license?
Hmmm there is another issue… it appears that user-manager does not support replication…
That is a showstopper. Of course I want at least two RADIUS servers and they should be
in sync w.r.t. the user list. Is that really not supported in user-manager?
I read about writing a script to backup the database on one router and load it on the other,
but also that the load fails when there are active connections. So that does not seem like
a usable solution.
For now, I’ll use freeradius instead.
I guess for that one on the loaded router you can disable connection to it before to load the database.
I’m sorry but we require something that is really usable in production.
Another problem was that it does not appear to be possible to add attributes to the users that are not already defined.
For now freeradius does a good job. Will look at usermanager when it receives some upgrading.
i just installed a mikrotik CHR instance at AWS (free tier) and at system licence it says FREE.
so what licence level is this? how many user manager active sessions can be active?
i am testing this in my lab running remote user manager (aws) and is working good. i am between choosing rb1100 or AWS CHR for a new installation for hotel hotspot with user manager.
any opinions about using rb1100 with sd card or AWS CHR?
