pppoe service for a pre-defined period daily

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Dear all ;
Kindly i would like to give you simple information about my network .
I am using pppoe for my wireless clients and some of them need to connect to my internet network for a specific period of time like 12 hours per day .
i need to know , How could i accept their connections within these pre-defined hours and to reject their connection to my network out of this period of time ? ,
currently i do it manualy by disabling their secret to stop them from logging in the network .
i will be waiting your reply with comments eagerly .
if their any article in the forum with the same concept , please refer to it for further information .
with best regards .

Hi all again ;
I think no one get the idea clearly and for this i do not see any reply to this case .
simply if you have a client need to use the internet connection from 6 pm to 6 am daily and no need to access the internet after this period which it will be from 6 am till 6 pm .
so i need to accept his connection during the period 6 pm to 6 am daily and to drop him later .
how to manage this ? , as i said before that i am using pppoe .
waiting your reply eagerly .
with best regards

Hi ;
I am realy sad .
it seems that MikroTik can not do this , but i read before that there is a script used with hotspot to give some clients service for 12 hours per day or less or more according to the requirement .

anyone could help ?
with best regards

you can use RADIUS to do this

i suggest DMA Radius Manager since its compatible with mikrotik out of the box.

Hi ;
Thanks for your reply .
I am not familiar with RADIUS servers , is it part of MikroTik OS ? or it should be installed as well ? , shall i install it in the same pc with MT or another pc ?
i will be waiting your reply with feedback .
with best regards

you will need dedicated PC (Server)
and also you need to buy a license http://www.dmasoftlab.com/cont/home

We use a RADIUS server and run our hotspot through that. Users can be issued with accounts based on bandwidth or time.
All login requests go to the RADIUS server where they are authenticated.

I have not configured a user account which is specifically restricted to 12 hours of the day but one problem we do have, when issuing user accounts limited by bandwidth, is that there seems not to be an easy way to kick a user off once they go over their limit.
We can set idle time but if the user keeps active, they stay connected and exceed their limit.

So I will be interested to see what your solution is - is it possible to terminate a session at a particular time of day and then prevent logon until the next day.

Mikrotik RouterOS support RADIUS disconnect and Change of Authorization, and below attributes (according to the manual) may be changed by while account is online

  • Mikrotik-Group
  • Mikrotik-Recv-Limit
  • Mikrotik-Xmit-Limit
  • Mikrotik-Rate-Limit
  • Mikrotik-Mark-Id
  • Filter-Id
  • Mikrotik-Advertise-Url
  • Mikrotik-Advertise-Interval
  • Session-Timeout
  • Idle-Timeout
  • Port-Limit

so its easy to kick any user by sending “Session-Timeout” attribute

we used Steel-Belted Radius for many years, but DMA Radius Manager is easy to use and support many many features out of the box
