Hi Guys,
We’re longtime users of both Mikrotik and Cisco… of late there has been almost no reason to use Cisco… EXCEPT when trying to use some of the Cisco ISG features. Specifically:
- When the Cisco ISG sees traffic on an interface from any IP it will trigger a radius auth request ( to some extent similar to what the hotspot will do, but ip based not mac based)
This allows for dynamic auth for a user based on IP - this is a REALLY useful feature for ISPs and Operators.
