I want to limit the client to attache the only approved routers from our office for some reasons. So i add the mac of the router in here as shown in image 1 while using the Mikrotik API. When i specified the client router’s mac ( image 1.) and expected to see it in the Mikrotik “Call ID” ( image 2.) but not there. How or what was its purpose, Mac(s) Field?
Hi Erick, MAC is used in radius. I think if you create PPP secrets via API, Splynx doesn’t push the MAC there. @ex , I think we can add it to the system
Hello, the PPPoE/Password + MAC authentication is available in Radius server, no one else asked for it in API PPPoE/Username mode. At the moment this feature for API is in low priority.
If it’s really very important authentication feature for you, why you don’t think about moving to Radius authentication where it’s supported for ages ?
I love API for two reasons:- A. My radius server (Splynx) doesn need to be up for the client to authenticate. or even if my router (core) loses connection to the splynx or the splynx server is powered off for maintenance my clients will authenticate on my router without a hustle.
B. Contention ratio scheme
Unless there is more advantages of the raidus option than the Api then i would switch.
@ex I enabled this. Will the field Mac under service be populated automatically or should i input the caller ID mac since it has not pulled the first mac connected yet…
