[HELP] Problem. I need 2 hotspots with 2 radius servers on one Mikrotik

RouterOS General

Dear Friends

I need help with this “problem”.

I have a Mikrotik 915G router with all the ethernet ports occupied.

The story is that in one of the ports I have a hotspot mounted with radius (own server in mikrotik) and usermanager.

This ethernet port goes to wifi antennas that are spread throughout the building.

The problem is that now I need to create a new hotspot since from those antennas (Unifi brand) you have to connect another group of people.

I have created two VLANs with their respective IP ranges starting from that ethernet connection. I have also created another hotspot portal for these new users.

For now everything is ok. The users that connect to the WIFI A van receive their correct IP range and go to the hotspot portal A. The users that connect to the WIFI B receive their correct IP range and go to the hotspot portal B.

Everything seemed to be successful until we came to the subject of identifying ourselves.

The users generated by usemanager only work on wifi A (which was the portal that had always existed). I need that usermanager generate vouchers also for the second hotspot.

I have created a second RADIUS server but I can not get it to connect. I always receive the notice that “the radius server does not respond”.

I am not an advanced user so I would appreciate, if there is a solution, to be as detailed as possible.

Thank you so much

RouterOS uses only 1 Radius client, you cannot have two hotspots using different radius servers on the same router.

You can have several radius servers on /radius, but RouterOS will use the first, unless it’s down; then it will try the second, and so on.

You don’t need two seperate radius servers for two seperate hotspots.

Have a look at Multiple Hotspots on the same router with RADIUS

Hi.

Thanks for your answer. I’ve been following the thread to see if I could get some information but I’m not sure if they use another external server.

I currently have the following configuration.

My intention is for usermanager to generate vouchers for a different hotspot and vouchers (since one hotspot is for workers and the other is for student access).

Thank you very much and forgive me for my clumsiness.

When it gets to work I will have to buy a license to expand the capacity of unlimited users of mikrotik in the hotspot.

This is my hotspots configuration.

Maybe you can use this to authenticate both user categories vs different matching policies.
I use this on windows domain with nps to match versus 2 groups. If policy for group A doesn’t match then it checks for group B.
