Disconnecting users

Hi,

 

We need to be able to disconnect users from our LNS when they haven̵7;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 ‘suspended̵7;.

 

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?

Lock their passwd and search for RADIUS Packet of Disconnect
(or radius 
pod).

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.
