User Manager/4/PPP Setup

Introduction

Now Advanced Mikrotik User Manager can be used as a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is a networking protocol that provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) for PPP Clients.

PPP Server Configurations

• First, add the PPPoE server to the local interface, :

 / interface pppoe-server server add interface=ether1 service-name=MikroTik one-session-per-host=yes disabled=no

• Specify the use of User Manager for PPPoE clients:

 / ppp aaa set use-radius=yes

• Set IP address of the PPPoE server, IP address might not be assigned to the interface of PPPoE server. Moreover static IP address or DHCP should not be used on the same interfaces as the PPPoE server for security reasons.

 / ppp profile set default local-address=192.168.0.1

• Add radius client to consult User Manager for PPP service.

 / radius add service=ppp address=y.y.y.y secret=123456

'secret' is equal to User Manager router secret. 'y.y.y.y' is the User Manager router address.

• Note, first the local PPP database is consulted, then the User Manager database.
