Can any one help me about to make authentication (user name & pass) in dhcp server.
i mean that if any dhcp user wish to use internet then he/she may have to authenticated by username and pass also.
We can use PPPOE but i need to make authentication in DHCP mode.
so if anybody help to ab this then i will be so gratefull to him.her.
hotspot uses a lot of cpu power. we are using it to authticate now, every time a client log in, cpu hits 100% since hotspot has to add a queue and etc..
then cpu usage comes down to normal around 10%. machine is a p4 2133freq. with 200 users.
we are wanting to move away from this setup. we would like to keep the login name/ password setup. but not so many queus.
Have not found a solution yet
The other option is to use a single sharing queue rather than assigning a per user queue.
This depends on what the usage habits are like thou as it will allow a faster connection for the most part, but is more open to people abusing the speed.
We had approx 300 users on 2 different locations, 1 with a slower connection 1 faster.. the faster 1 was often maxing 100% cpu and changing it to the single queue helped a fair bit.
