Example
To configure HotSpot on ether1 interface (which is already configured with address of
192.0.2.1/25), and adding user admin with password rubbish:
[admin@MikroTik] > ip hotspot setup
hotspot interface: ether1
local address of network: 192.0.2.1/24
masquerade network: yes
address pool of network: 192.0.2.2-192.0.2.126
select certificate: none
ip address of smtp server: 0.0.0.0
dns servers: 192.0.2.254
dns name: hs.example.net
name of local hotspot user: admin
password for the user: rubbish
[admin@MikroTik] >
HotSpot Interface Setup
Home menu level: /ip hotspot
Description
HotSpot system is put on individual interfaces. You can run completely different HotSpot
configurations on different interfaces
Property Description
addresses-per-mac ( integer | unlimited ; default: 2 ) - number of IP addresses allowed to be bind
with any particular MAC address (it is a small chance to reduce denial of service attack based on
taking over all free IP addresses)
• unlimited - number of IP addresses per one MAC address is not limited
address-pool ( name | none ; default: none ) - IP address pool name for performing one-to-one
NAT. You can choose not to use the one-to-one NAT
• none - do not perform one-to-one NAT for the clients of this HotSpot interface
HTTPS ( read-only: flag ) - whether the HTTPS service is actually running on the interface (i.e., it
is set up in the server profile, and a valid certificate is imported in the router)
idle-timeout ( time | none ; default: 00:05:00 ) - idle timeout (maximal period of inactivity) for
unauthorized clients. It is used to detect, that client is not using outer networks (e.g. Internet), i.e.,
there is NO TRAFFIC coming from that client and going through the router. Reaching the timeout,
user will be dropped of the host list, and the address used buy the user will be freed
• none - do not timeout idle users
interface ( name ) - interface to run HotSpot on
