RouterOS built-in RADIUS client configuration

This Ebook provides Tutorial about RouterOS built-in RADIUS client configuration, supported RADIUS attributes and recommendations on RADIUS server selection.

RADIUS, short for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, is a remote server that provides authentication and accounting facilities to various network apliances. RADIUS authentication and accounting gives the ISP or network administrator ability to manage PPP user access and accounting from one server throughout a large network. The MikroTik RouterOS has a RADIUS client which can authenticate for HotSpot, PPP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP and ISDN connections. The attributes received from RADIUS server override the ones set in the default profile, but if some parameters are not received they are taken from the respective default profile.
The RADIUS server database is consulted only if no matching user acces record is found in router's local database.
Traffic is accounted locally with MikroTik Traffic Flow and Cisco IP pairs and snapshot image can be gathered using Syslog utilities. If RADIUS accounting is enabled, accounting information is also sent to the RADIUS server default for that service.

Hardware Reset Mikrotik

Hardware Reset Password Mikrotik

RouterOS password can only be reset by reinstalling the router, or using the reset jumper (or jumper hole) in case the hardware is RouterBOARD. For RouterBOARDS just close the jumper and boot the board until the configuration is cleared. For some RouterBOARDs there is not a jumper, but a jumper hole - just put a metal object into the hole, and boot the board.

Password RouterOS hanya dapat diubah/ direset degnen cara menginstall ulang router, atau menggunakan reset jumper (lubang jumper untuk reset) pada perangkat keras/hardware RouterBOARD. Pada RouterBOARDS tinggal menghubungkan jumper tersebut dan booting ulang agar konfigurasi kembali default. Untuk beberapa RouterBOARDs tidak ada pin jumper khusus, namun berbentuk lubang sehingga bisa ditempatkan benda logam/seperti kawat ke dalam lubang dan menghubungkan keduanya.

The below image shows the location of the Reset Jumper on older RouterBOARDs like RB133C:

Gambar dibawah menunjukkan lokasi Reset Jumper pada RouterBOARD versi lama seperti RB133C

Note: Don't forget to remove the jumper after configuration has been reset, or it will be reset every time you reboot.

Catatan: jangan lupa melepas jumper setelah konfigurasi direset ke default, karena kalau masih terpasang, akan mereset configurasi secara terus menerus ketika booting.
