Hi, so basically all I need is a RFC 3576-compliant radius server and the correct vsa specific of cisco device? What I do not understand is if : )the radius check the quota (but how and how often?) and then push the disconnect to the device, or )the device, once the user is authenticathed, get a profile and then it checks with an internal specific process (specified by a vsa), the quota, with the action after the threshold. I'm a bit confused, as snmp/script solution implies that a machine should login/check the virtual interface status and then issue a command like "shutdown" correct? Is thi the only way to accomplish a QoS task!? Thanks for your help, Massimiliano Peter Nixon wrote:
This is not correct. You may use SNMP, or you may use a RADIUS Change of Authority/Packet of Disconnect request...

You need SNMP to disconnect the link, not Radius.
The only other way I can think of is that, if you can use an external program/script to check the quota from your accounting records, and then if that quota is reached, then send the program sends to SNMP to disconnect the user.

I'm trying to close the connection of a pre-paid mobile user, after he reached a limited amount of traffic (ie. 100 megabytes), the network device is a Cisco router. I've found may way to rate-limit the traffic bandwidth but not one to do this. Is radius the correct way to achieve this goal? It'all about vsa?
