ETHERNET LINK DISABLE/ENABLE

Hi.  Rather than simply disabling the Ethernet (for a non-paying client) some of our older non-Cambium gear can instead forward all traffic to an IP.  So, we have a server with ''Please Call us at 123-456-7890'' webpage on it.  Is there a way to accomplish this?

We basically use a firewall rule in iptables on the other gear, is there a way to accomplish something similar with ePMP SM's?

We find this MUCH better for the non-paying customer. That way, everyone in the family (read: the kids) know that the Internet isn't just 'broken' - instead that it's asking to call us. Also, in the case of a change of tenants, a rental or purchased property, the new tenants (who might not know about us) can plug in and see that the plug in the wall is an Internet plug - and who we are.

Thanks, ninedd, I saw your eariler post from 2015 sometime ago about the redirect, which is a excellent  idea.

I was not aware that the Ethernet disable had been implemented and I thank Cambium_Sri for this information.
