Customer disconnects. If you disconnect the radio, the customer starts factory resetting things. With the Patriot system, we suspend the user (using 1hr lease times so suspension takes up to 1hr). A suspended user then sees a message (customizable per user suspended .. think “billing issue” or “spamming” or whatever you want) letting them know they are suspended and need to call customer service.

We have control over the DLS lines. We have to enable either the fiber or the phone for them to get service, in my mind that is plenty of authentication. Like to have a user plug and play with no extra steps. Like to not have any more databases. I really don’t care who the user is etc. If they can get service they are supposed to get service.

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<tel: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.
