HOTSPOT GATEWAY
20 Introduction
Session Rate Limiting (SRL)
Session Rate Limiting (SRL) significantly reduces the risk of “Denial of Service”
attacks by allowing administrators to limit the number sessions any one user can take
over a given time period and, if necessary, then block malicious users.
Session Termination Redirect
Once connected to the public access network, the NSE will automatically direct the
customer to a Web site for local or personalized services, or to establish an account
and pay for services through its Home Page Redirect functionality. In addition, the
NSE also provides pre and post authentication redirects as well as one at session
termination. See also, “Home Page Redirect” on page 11.
Smart Client Support
The NSE supports authentication mechanisms used by Smart Clients by companies
such as Adjungo Networks, Boingo Wireless, GRIC and iPass.
SNMP Nomadix Private MIB
Nomadix’ Access Gateways can be easily managed over the Internet with an SNMP
client manager (for example, HP OpenView or Castle Rock).
To take advantage of the functionality provided with Nomadix’ private MIB
(Management Information Base), simply import the
nomadix.mib file from the
Accessories CD (supplied with the product) to view and manage SNMP objects on
your product.
