MAC Authentication - how to dynamically control Bandwidth rate per client?

Hi,

 

I there any way to control Bandwidth rate dynamically using RADIUS response in  "MAC-based access control" mode?

 

I know how to do that via polices, but i need to control it dynamically, per authentication, something similar to that:

 

WISPr-Bandwidth-Max-Up := 100000
WISPr-Bandwidth-Max-Down := 100000

 

Thanks.

Kind of a big deal

Unfortunately not.

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

Please, if this post was useful, leave your kudos and mark it as solved.

I would look at assigning Meraki Group Policies using RADIUS attributes:  https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Cross-Platform_Content/Creating_and_Applying...

and configure Traffic shaping within the policy

Yes.  The attributes to use are:
Maximum-Data-Rate-Upstream

Maximum-Data-Rate-Downstream

 

You can find all the attributes allowed in this document.

unfortunate it doesn't work with either "MAC-based access control" nor "Identity PSK with RADIUS"

looks like this is only for Sign-on Splash

just tested

Bummer!  Then your only choice is group policies.
