Private PSK with data limits
Introduction
- RADIUSdesk includes Fair Usage Policy (FUP) profiles.
- These profiles can be tailor made into a very secure, powerful and flexible solution.
- In this example we will make use of these FUP profiles to:
- Allow a permanent user a daily data usage of 1GB.
- After this the system will move them to a VLAN with a captive portal that is throttled.
- See the following illustration for more clarity.
- In order to get a working setup we will split it in two parts
- The RADIUS related things that has to be done in RADIUSdesk.
- The MESHdesk related things that has to be done in MESHdesk.
- We assume you created a new cloud using the Setup Wizard. Our cloud is called PPSK Demo.
RADIUS Related
- The RADIUS related prep will consist of the following:
- Create a FUP profile that will cause the user to be moved the VLAN 105 (The VLAN we will run our Captive Portal on) after 1GB of data usage.
- Create a permanent user with a unique Private PSK and who will be assigned to the limited FUP profile.
- Add an entry for the SSID that the user will connect to to the PMKs Applet.
- Add the hostapd RADIUS client (this will be waiting under RADIUS Clients → New Arrivals)
Create FUP Profile
- Start by creating a new profile. This will be a Simple Profile which we will edit afterwards to change to a FUP Profile.
