When a customer uses our ADSL router, we know the MAC address and use an API to pre-authorize so the customer never sees the login screen.
You can also set the unauthenticated pool timeout. I think default is 3 minutes but IIRC 1 minute is available. We’ve had cases where the customer authenticated then just waited a couple minutes and were online with a public IP. We also do DHCP reservations using RADIUS. The Patriot authenticates to RADIUS which returns a Framed-IP-Address value and away we go. ☺ __________________________________ Charles Boening Network Manager 800-858-2399 | Office charl...@calore.net<mailto:charl...@calore.net> www.cot.net<http://www.cot.net/> | Find us on Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cal-Ore/205066716227707> __________________________________ Cal-Ore | Real.

We love it. It’s essentially a captive portal. When a user first connects, they get a private IP and policy routing forces them to the portal. When the user authenticates, the system uses a local user database or RADIUS to authenticate the them and if successful, ties the MAC address to a username. Now that the user is known, they reboot their device (or release/renew or wait a few minutes) and the system assigns an IP address from the authenticated address pool. Infoblox looks like it has a few more features (some DNS and IPAM stuff). If you’re in the market for something like the DHCPatriot system, I recommend getting a demo. __________________________________ Charles Boening Network Manager 800-858-2399 | Office charl...@calore.net<mailto:charl...@calore.net> www.cot.net<http://www.cot.net/> | Find us on Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cal-Ore/205066716227707> __________________________________ Cal-Ore | Real.

Infoblox has a nice DHCP server too.
