RFS and captive portal capacity

[schrein]

Hello All,

I have the following question. How many users can a RFS6000 or 7000 serve simultaneously when internal RADIUS is used for authentication? I know the RFS4000 serve 200 users.

Thank you for your help!

Regards

I'm not aware of the capacity of the on-board RADIUS server but you realize you can use an external RADIUS server. It's pretty easy to deploy FreeRADIUS on any number of platforms.

Cheers!

I believe the number is 500.

Hi Michael,

thanks for your help.

I've got the answer for the other controllers. The RFS 4000 is able to manage 200 simultaneous hotspot users, RFS6000 400 users and RFS 7000 4000 users. RFS 4000 Radius User Capacity is 256 users, RFS 6000 500 users and RFS7000 5000 users.

I want to offer my clientele (hospitality, education etc.)  a solution from a single source, therefore the external RADIUS opportunity is of no interest.

if you are using the internal hotspot + radius, i recommend you to use wing 5. WiNG 4 hotspot has always been unstable. customers who had failed to authenticate on hotspot once may hookup and never be able to see the hotspot page unless they have been cleared out from mac tables. Even disconnect - reconnect does not work sometimes. Wing 5 on the other hand can handle this way better.

You're absolutely right. But I need the wired hotspot feature and this is actual not supported in WiNG5, it would be implement in July/August/September.
