Mikrotik IP & Hotspot


HotSpot

The MikroTik HotSpot Gateway provides authentication for clients before access to public networks .
HotSpot Gateway features:
  • different authentication methods of clients using local client database on the router, or remote RADIUS server;
  • users accounting in local database on the router, or on remote RADIUS server;
  • walled-garden system, access to some web pages without authorization;
  • login page modification, where you can put information about the company;
  • automatic and transparent change any IP address of a client to a valid address;

  • HotSpot Setup

    The simplest way to setup HotSpot server on a router is by /ip hotspot setup command. Router will ask to enter parameters required to successfully set up HotSpot. When finished, default configuration will be added for HotSpot server.
    [admin@MikroTik] /ip hotspot> setup 
    Select interface to run HotSpot on 
    
    hotspot interface: ether3
    Set HotSpot address for interface 
    
    local address of network: 10.5.50.1/24
    masquerade network: yes
    Set pool for HotSpot addresses 
    
    address pool of network: 10.5.50.2-10.5.50.254
    Select hotspot SSL certificate 
    
    select certificate: none
    Select SMTP server 
    
    ip address of smtp server: 0.0.0.0
    Setup DNS configuration 
    
    dns servers: 10.1.101.1
    DNS name of local hotspot server 
    
    dns name: myhotspot
    Create local hotspot user 
    
    name of local hotspot user: admin
    password for the user: 
    [admin@MikroTik] /ip hotspot>

    Parameters asked during setup process
    ParameterDescription
    hotspot interface (string; Default: allow)Interface name on which to run HotSpot. To run HotSpot on a bridge interface, make sure public interfaces are not included to the bridge ports.
    local address of network (IP; Default:10.5.50.1/24)HotSpot gateway address
    masquerade network (yes | no; Default: yes)Whether to masquerade HotSpot network, when yes rule is added to /ip firewall nat with action=masquerade
    address pool of network (string; Default:yes)Address pool for HotSpot network, which is used to change user IP address to a valid address. Useful if providing network access to mobile clients that are not willing to change their networking settings.
    select certificate (none | import-other-certificate; Default: )Choose SSL certificate, when HTTPS authorization method is required.
    ip address of smtp server (IP; Default:0.0.0.0)IP address of the SMTP server, where to redirect HotSpot's network SMTP requests (25 TCP port)
    dns servers (IP; Default: 0.0.0.0)DNS server addresses used for HotSpot clients, configuration taken from /ip dns menu of the HotSpot gateway
    dns name (string; Default: "")domain name of the HotSpot server, full quality domain name is required, for example www.example.com
    name of local hotspot user (string; Default: "admin")username of one automatically created HotSpot user, added to /ip hotspot user
    password for the user' (string; Default: )Password for automatically created HotSpot user

    ip hotspot

    Menu is designed to manage HotSpot servers of the router. It is possible to run HotSpot on Ethernet, wireless, VLAN and bridge interfaces. One HotSpot server is allowed per interface. When HotSpot is configured on bridge interface, set HotSpot interface as bridge interface not as bridge port, do not add public interfaces to bridge ports. You can add HotSpot servers manually to /ip hotspot menu, but it is advised to run /ip hotspot setup, that adds all necessary settings.
    • name (text) : HotSpot server's name or identifier
    • address-pool (name / none; default: none) : address space used to change HotSpot client any IP address to a valid address. Useful for providing public network access to mobile clients that are not willing to change their networking settings
    • idle-timeout (time / none; default: 5m) : period of inactivity for unauthorized clients. When there is no traffic from this client (literally client computer should be switched off), once the timeout is reached, user is dropped from the HotSpot host list, its used address becomes available
    • interface (name of interface) : interface to run HotSpot on
    • addresses-per-mac (integer / unlimited; default: 2) : number of IP addresses allowed to be bind with the MAC address, when multiple HotSpot clients connected with one MAC-address
    • profile (name; default: default) - HotSpot server default HotSpot profile, which is located in /ip hotspot profile

    • keepalive-timeout (read-only; time) : the exact value of the keepalive-timeout, that is applied for user. Value shows how long host can stay out of reach to be removed from the HotSpot

    • limit-bytes-total (read-only; integer) : value shows how many bytes total were send/received from client, option is active when the appropriate parameter is configured for HotSpot user

    ip hotspot host

    Host table lists all computers connected to the HotSpot server. Host table is informational and it is not possible to change any value there
    • mac-address (read-only; MAC-address) : HotSpot user MAC-address

    • regular - performs One-to-One NAT according to the rule, translates address to to-address
    • bypassed - performs the translation, but excludes client from login to the HotSpot
    • blocked - translation is not performed and packets from host are dropped

    Cookies
