Overview
The DHCPatriot™ is a fully redundant, high availabilty DHCP server appliance. It provides captive portal authentication of customer equipment without disrupting the network. It accomplishes this by using a centralized deployment scheme rather than an inline model. Further, customers will not need to install any software or do anything other than open a web browser to authenticate. In most cases, they will only need to do this once.
For the authentication services, the DHCPatriot™ can utilize its own internal authentication, or an external RADIUS server. Whether using the internal authentication, or an external RADIUS server, the DHCPatriot™ provides powerful tools for viewing MAC Address/IP Address/username/time corelation necessary for abuse complaint resolution, network security monitoring, as well as broadband CALEA compliance. It further features simple web based DHCP configuration, and easy to read graphs and charts for monitoring address pool saturation. Make managing your broadband ISP simple by adding a DHCPatriot.
