[cisco-bba] Disconnecting users

[Frank Bulk]

Won't the DSL modem kindly hit RADIUS 20 to 30 times per minute?  We first
disable the account in RADIUS, and then suspend traffic to that port on the
DSLAM.

Hi,

 

We need to be able to disconnect users from our LNS when they haven't paid
their bill - can anyone give me some pointers on the most effective way to
do this? 

 

I had initially thought of just changing the users password in RADIUS but
that is only effective for suspending users who switch off their modem or
disconnect regularly - customers who leave their modems logged in all of the
time may continue to receive service for months after they have been
'suspended'.

 

The only other alternative that I can think of is to use an SNMPSET message
to clear the VI that the customer is using. This would probably require a
little script-fu but it's not insurmountable but I'd love to know if there
is a more elegant way to approach this?
