Implementation guide
PPPoE RADIUS Authentication and Billing
PPPoE establishes the customer session; RADIUS evaluates identity and policy; billing determines commercial eligibility. Keeping those responsibilities explicit makes failures easier to diagnose.
Use the interface and documentation together.
The capture below shows the related ISPbills product area. Follow the linked documentation for current fields and prerequisites, then validate the exact device, provider, software version, failure path and rollback before production use.
Plan the complete path, not one isolated setting.
Connect PPPoE RADIUS authentication, plan authorization, session accounting and billing eligibility for ISP subscribers. Confirm the exact device, software version, provider contract and failure behavior in a representative environment before production rollout.
Authenticate
Validate the subscriber credential against the intended central source.
Authorize
Return the correct service profile, addressing and session rules.
Account
Record session start, interim and stop events with stable subscriber and NAS context.
Prove the boundaries before automating them.
Record expected results, failure signals, the person who can approve a change, and the rollback path. Product support depends on the deployed architecture and integration version.

Implementation answers
Can RADIUS set PPPoE speed?
Yes, using attributes supported by the NAS and deployed policy. Confirm exact RouterOS attribute behavior.
What is simultaneous use?
It limits concurrent sessions for a credential, subject to accurate accounting and stale-session handling.
How does billing affect authentication?
The billing platform determines eligibility and updates the RADIUS policy or supported access workflow accordingly.
Bring the actual routers, access design, billing rules and failure cases.
