Hi all,
I’m configuring my first hotspot with Mikrotik and I’m with some problems. See bellow the configuration of my network:
- I’m using Mikrotik 3.0rc4;
- I’m making the wireless authentication of the MAC addresses on the FreeRadius
- I’m making the hotspot authentication on a FreeRadius server;
Mikrotik box:
wlan1 200.200.200.1
ether 192.168.0.2
Gateway default: 192.168.0.1
Network gateway:
ether1 192.168.0.1
ether2 201.201.201.2
I create a hotspot on the wlan1 of the Mikrotik and I tested 2 authentications type: MAC and User/Password. In both cases everthing works fine unless the http. I can’t browse the internet from the hotspot client machine.
If I run a tcpdump on my network gateway I see that all traffic from the Mikrotik machine arrives with the IP 192.168.0.2 and not with the IP address of the hotspot customer. I tested it with and without masquerade and the result is the same. This occours with http traffic just. I checked the http proxy but it was disabled on the mikrotik.
I like that the mikrotik just do the routing of the traffic and the traffic arrives on my network gateway with the IP address of the client.
I need of some suggestions too:
- Can I send a comment to the registration table when the user has the MAC authenticated on the FreeRadius?
- Can I define in the FreeRadius if the customer will log in on the hotspot using USERNAME/PASSWORD or just using MAC? I’ve some customers that don’t what authentication with username/password but I don’t want to do this on the mikrotik, I want to control this using the radius server.
- I’ll use 3 wireless interfaces on the RB333 and I’ll run the hotspot on it. How can I configure just one hotspot for the three interfaces? Have I to put the 3 interfaces on a bridge and configure the hotspot to the bridge?
Regards
