Dear friends! Need help…
We`ve got Mikrotik x86 server acting as B-RAS for PPPoE connections. Our billig system send Rdius disconnect message to disconnect session on some billing events. In this message Radius server sends: sessionid, user-name and ip address parameters. Mikrotik successfully disconnect session but in logs we have “hotspot,error,info,debug Radius disconnect request for unknown ip xxx.xxx.226.133”
Why hotspot and why it is unknown?
Please help.
Please help. Anybody facing this problem?
This is a guess: The hotspot feature can also use RADIUS to authenticate people. When a DM comes in the router can’t know who it’s for, so it gets passed to both processes (PPPoE and Hotspot). The PPPoE server finds the connection and terminates it, but the Hotspot server does not so it throws an error.
If you’re not using the Hotspot feature uninstall that package and the error should go away, otherwise the error should be safe to ignore.
Thank you very mutch! I`ll try.
Final report: if I disable hotspot package, than no error hotspot message appears on Radius disconnect message.
But question is: if in some scenario we need hotspot and pppoe access -than we`ve got hotspot radius disconnect error again. Is it possible to fix it?
Can anybody help me with question in my last post?
No, there’s no way around that. Just ignore it. You know that it’s a harmless log entry.
I had the same problem with my freeradius server And i solved it using this command .
[root@yassinelab ~]# echo User-Name=‘mikrotik’, Framed-IP-Address = ‘10.0.0.10’ | radclient -c ‘1’ -n ‘3’ -r ‘3’ -t ‘3’ -x ‘192.168.200.165:3799’ ‘disconnect’ ‘hello’ 2>&1

I hope that will work for you .
