<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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’.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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?<o:p></o:p></p>
