Title: RE: [smartBridges] Microtik - Eje
If they are Windows clients, use PPTP for authentication. The same
features are available for bandwidth limiting, and anything that is
Windows 98SE or newer has PPTP support built in. It only works for
single users, but if that is what you have, then you are set. For those
that are multiple machines behind a CPE you can get the router and
spend the $9.99 on them.
 
The "redirect page" feature I think you are referring to is the HotSpot
feature. It works very slick and doesn't require any configuration on
the client machine. It also works with multiple clients behind a CPE.

Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Microtik - Eje

I know really it's a matter of cost the PPPoE solution is thebest along with using routers at the clients but so far cheapest I have found is 9.99 sounds great but its 49.99 with a 40 dollar mail in rebate that's not a possibility considering my bank account doesn't come close to covering the 150 clients that would need the routers rolling trucks isn't even the problem cause I could get my friends to do it with me. How do I set the queue tree for port's? for the overrides I couldn't find this? Can you give me a basic setup for what I would have to do from a bare 2.7.8 microtik box to get 1 client up at 512/128 with pop and smtp overridden to do unlimited along with the ARP authorization. I would really appreciate it eje, things might just be promising then even though I can't get the redirection page to work that's one feature I wish the microtik had then I could really pump it are they taking any recommendations ? I mean the webserver is already implemented on the box so it shouldn't be that hard.

Currently you can only set a upload limit based on mac address.
If you create static arp entries then they will not be able to pass
any traffic even if they change ips.

Sounds like from what you want to do you need to setup a queue tree as
well create some override rules that would allow higher speed on pop3
and smtp.

If you set the interface to arp reply-only then a unauthorized user
will not be able to pass any traffic. There is no redirect page but
then they will not be able to pass any traffic either (which should be
a good hint).

If you really want a secure network you should use pppoe then you can
have all automated for you and don't need to worry about users
changing ips or unathorized users. PPPoE is your friend.

CC> Eje I'm really considering the microtik for our client bandwidth management
CC> until the nexus come out but I have a problem... I got basic queues to work
CC> by IP although this isn't what we wanted.. We wanted by mac address
CC> bandwidth management I mean people can change ips or spoof ip's easier than
CC> mac's, and also we wanted to be able to do more in depth filtering of the
CC> bandwidth for a client like 512/128 for everything except smtp and pop3
CC> which would be unlimited. But this isn't available? Also What happened to
CC> what I heard about authorization redirection Mainly showing users that
CC> aren't mac allowed a webpage that states there invalid users or are pirating
CC> and should desist or call the office.

CC> Chris

PS>> Eje any help would be much appreciated or anyone using microtik
