hello all ,
I am working on trying to get one of my mikrotiks setup for hotpot usage.. I have set up ether1 with a public ip subnet of 29 and have a ether2 setup with 10.10.2.1/24.
I have the DHCP server running and handing out 10.10.2.2-254. I have the hotspot server running on interface ether2 and using same pool of IP as the DHCP server. I have found that in user profiles i can set up differnt user schemes of say 128k/256k ect. ect. I figured out how to uses Queues for user that are not using the hotspot (have free acces) . hotspot doenst care if user is using ip say 192.168.0.34 it changes there ip on the router to a IP in the Pool i have built. The get a page that ask for the user name and password. I have figured out how to even get the popups to come up every so often with advertisment. log in with cookies and MAC , ect. I am not running proxy apart from the hotpsot.
what i would like to know is how to i make more modifications in the user profiles in hotpot. All hotspot user get ser to the rate limit i set say 64k/64k but that is as far as it goes. I cant set burst limit, burst time or any of the other settings that i can in the regular Queues. Also they all get set to 8 on priority and i cant seem to figure out how to change that. When a user logs on to the router it sets up a queue but it is dynamic and there is no way of changing it. Is there a way to override the Dynamic Queues and use preestablished ones. Say at login a script runs that tells user to use static queues instead of dynamic ones? Also is there a way to run a proxy cache also. (it is a p3 with 256ram 20gb, 900mhz)
once i figure this part out i would like to figure out how to run a script that makes them have higher leval of service or say a differnt user profile until they reach a certain amount of bandwith and then there profile changes to a lower one until midnight and then it resets.
Also is there a way to give out IPs thru dhcp but when it auth on hotspot it changes them to a different subnet or say a /30 or /29 subnet. Also i have a few more public Ips that i could hand out to the clients. what would be the way to do that? dstnat? but still use hotspot to auth.
I have read thru the forums but there are so many different questions and anweres that i cant seem to ever get to the one that pertains to what i need to do.
thanks guys, i am new at this but i like it and with your help I think this is the best way to go for my needs.
