Question regarding multiple Mikrotik servers and PPP users

RouterOS General
1

Hi, would like to know, if I have multiple Mikrotik servers, is it possible to use only one of them for authentication, instead of creating users on all of them.

I know I should probably be using a seperate Radius server such as FreeRadius but can I authenticate all my users on one Mikrotik server instead of having to create them on all the servers?

This is not possible as far as I know. The reason is that RouterOS is just a RADIUS client, but for other RouterOS machines to authenticate users against it, it would have to be a RADIUS server, too.

So you’re right - you should deploy a RADIUS server like FreeRadius for your requirements…
