Hi Paul, It is not a radius server initiated process. The idea is that you trigger some process to execute at the necessary time, and issue the COA request to the relevant router. This can be done using shell script, for example, that queries database for appropriate sessions, then sends radius update packet to the router. Cheers! Mike.

Hi guys, we are making some major changes to our authentication and billing and want to implement the COA feature so that any plan changes mid cycle for customers can be pushed to the LNS.
I know that Mikrotik supports COA by using the inbound radius options and it should do what we want but what I can't seem to find enough information on is how the radius server actually triggers the update to be sent to the LNS, can anybody here shine any light on that for me at all ?
We really want to get this going as I hate having to kick somebody off just for their queue to change, but just can't seem to connect the dots.....
Thanks Paul _______________________________________________ Public mailing list Public@talk.mikrotik.com.au http://talk.mikrotik.com.au/mailman/listinfo/public_talk.mikrotik.com.au
