Hello,
We are using Rodopi
5.3 (latest) with Windows 2000, SQL 2000, and the latest version of Vircom
Radius.
We currently service
Dial-up accounts (prepaid and normal accounts) and ADSL customers. These two
types of customer authenticate through the Vircom Radius that we
have.
The current
situation is that all ADSLs come to us as single PVCs per customer. This is
problematic as we have to maintain 100s of PVCs on the router. This method is
being changed gradually now to use in between the ADSL and our routers a SHASTA
aggregator. Then only one PVC will be created between each Shasta and our
routers. Inside this PVC all users will come to us in a UBR
PVC.
Now another issue is
speed controls. Currently, we control each user's speed through his specific PVC
by usage of bandwidth shaping (UBR command). But with the new setup after the
aggregation, the user will be controlled by the network provider through the
domain name. For example, a customer who purchases 256k ADSL would have to
loginto the service (PPPoE) through the following user name: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Now if the user
speed was 64k, then he would have to login with the following user name: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . The supported speeds
now are: 64k, 128k and 256k.
The questions now
are the following:
1. How can we
control specific user names (through profiles maybe) to login using a specific
sub-domain (ie. 64k.domain.net)? So, if he attempts to login using
256k.domain.net he will be denied access because of incorrect username/password.
We also need this to be done using profiles on Rodopi and not the profiles.txt
of Vircom Radius.
2. How can we
control Digital vs. Analog to control Dial-ups and ADSLs access? Again this
needs to be done from Rodopi profiles and NOT Radius profiles.txt
file.
3. Also how can we
control user logins through DNIS using Rodopi profiles and not Vircom
Radius profiles.txt ?
4. Currently, my
dial-up users login without the use of the domain name. Can we allow dial-up to
continue without domain name while forcing ADSLs to login with domain names as
explained above ?
We are in URGENT
need for assistance on the above items. Pls get back to us with any assistance
or hints you might have on the above issues.
Regards..
