HOtspot for Specific IP Pools

Hello All,

I had a idea hit me and i know Microtik’s support Hotspot kind of features. I made a previous post about a Sessional Plan and i want to continue to work off that effort.

Basicly we have a Sessional Plan that has a pool named Sessional_Hold with IP Range of 10.190.1.2-10.190.1.254. When a users logins in, they use PPPoe and authenticate against a radius server which responds back with a Profile data name. This Profile Data includes which IP Pool they should get the IP from.

The end goal here is we do not want these users to have access to the network. Another option i would like to do is instead of just blocking everything (can if i must), is it possible to simply just setup a hotspot page, have MikroTik always redirect to it so i can give them a speach to call and reactivate the account before using it? Then of course they will continue to get this page until we make changes on our end and the user reauthenicates to get a new IP.

This is defn the preferred option, but the connection these users are coming from are on the same card as the regular paying customers who need access and they get public IP’s.

we ended up going with spotngo wireless for a payment modual for taking payment for hotspots via mikrotik and radius. works quite well.

When you setup a hotspot the mikrotik has a default page login.html that it creates in the hotspot folder. If you edit that, you can make it say whatever you want.

i have 2 ip pools 1 pool 10.0.0.91-10.0.0.255 this is the pool you get when you connect to the wireless network. then once you log in via http chap (the hotspot) it hands out a 10.10.1.x which is part of the authenticated network.

i think there is a wiki article on how to do a basic hotspot setup which iis what you are trying to do i think.
