(RADIATOR) Force Disconnect

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Ross -

In general it is a bad idea to use SNMP for this sort of thing because it is 
too easy to hack. You are much better off using the specific radius 
Disconnect-Request that is now supported in most recent releases of NAS 
software. Otherwise you can write a script that will log in to the NAS and 
issue whatever command is required to disconnect a session.

regards

Hugh
