- Calling Station ID
Concurrency feature implementation. If this option
is
checked, many users or a same user can be granted
access to a same NAS port
using different Calling
Station IDs. This option is useful for anyone
using
a wireless NAS which make use of Calling
Station ID to store MAC address
(e.g. Nomadix,
etc.).
If this option is checked, user port limit
and NAS port limit are treated
like connection
limits no matter the type of the different connections
being
NAS ports and/or Calling Station
IDs.
In addition
if this option is checked, VOP Radius considers Calling
Station
ID to be universally unique if the Calling
Station ID is at least
10-character long (The
latter encompasses MAC address, E.163 and E.164
format types). Normally VOP Radius in order to prevent ghost
connections
when an access request comes in from a
same NAS for a port VOP Radius has
a user already
connected to, the new connection is allowed to replace
the
ghost connection rather than being rejected. In
case this option is checked,
VOP Radius considers
Calling Station ID to be a non-sharable resource
too.
In order to prevent ghost connections when an
access request comes in for
a Calling Station ID VOP
Radius had a user already connected to, the new
connection is allowed to replace the ghost connection rather than
being
rejected. Therefore this option is also useful
for anyone using a carrier
not providing any means
to monitor their NAS activity (e.g. GlobalPOPs, etc.).
So the new feature is
…. Cleanup of users based on callingstationid and username being
identical?

The

Meanwhile I would
appreciate that ALL OF YOU that uses Globalpops send me an

If you want the
Caller-id feature I would recommend you call vircom and talk to
Sylvain. He's the guy that can make it happen. I've been
talking with him for about 6 mo. See the following email
exchange.
****************************************************************************************************
I fixed a bug in
our software which was creating ghost users. And I wanted you to give it a
try to see whether it would help your case ...
Your feature
request is definitively still planned and our new base of wireless
customers also need it.
It is planned for
this quarter, I will advise you as soon as it will be
available.

RADIUS proposed enhancement...
We installed VOP Radius version 4.0.228
in mid
October. We were very excited to get to this new release
because it was to have a feature that cleaned up ports based on same
calling-station-id. This was to
resolve ongoing problems we have with wholesale ports providers
where we can not use watchdog
packets.
We have not been able to
locate the calling-station-id clean up feature which we were
told would be disabled by default. Did this feature not make this
release as planned? Was the idea
scrapped?

“Can
VPRRS detect no activity on a connection and reset
it?”
No, however
VOPRadius has a feature that works well that with a bit of tweaking cold
solve our problems. As it stands now, if a simultaneous login comes from
the same NAS/NasPort as a user already connected, the new connection is
allowed to replace the current connection rather than being rejected.
The thought here is that the only way a new connection could come in
with the same NasPort and username is if the current connection is a
ghost. This makes perfect sense.
With this said,
I have talked to one of the Radius Admins at GP about this and they
state that if our Radius Servers could do the same thing with caller-id
and username ghosting wouldn’t be a problem.

Globalpops does
not send "keep-alive" packets, therefore we are having a problem with
simultaneous connections. What are others (with GP) doing to
eleviate this problem? Can VPRRS detect no activity on a
connection and reset it?
