Hi to everybody, I had try for long time to use this board like lan router with nat and firewall for office pc on the first 3 lan interface, and the last 2 lan configured for hotspot with remote radius server.
when I configure hotspot, I lost my lan connection.
I assign to lan1 the addres of the network where I had radius server, 10.1.1.0/24
I create a bridge with lan2 and lan3, this bridge has address 192.168.1.0/24
I create a nat roule for masquerade.
I define a DHCP server for the bridge.
It works, I had 2 lan and 1 wan, no authentication required, I can use all the band I had.
Is possible use lan4 and lan5 for hotspot access, using “hotspot setup” and enable the authentication for hotspot user on the radius that is on the subnet 10.1.1.0/24?
a) when you bridge lan1, lan2 and lan3 the router IP within 10.1.1.0/24 should go on the bridge interface, not the lan1 interface. You do not need an IP within 192.168.1.0/24 on the bridge at all.
b) bridge lan4 and lan5, and run the Hotspot wizard on that bridge interface. You can then use a RADIUS server within 10.1.1.0/24 for authentication.
Thank you, I do not bridge lan1, lan2 and lan3, only lan2 and lan3 because I use theese two lan, 1 for office and one for my lab. this is the only reason. I will try bridge lan4 and 5 then hhotspot setup. I will let you know later.
