Hello, I am looking for a way to manage the internet access on my router. Specifically, I want to be able to turn the internet on and off. When the internet is turned off, I need to be able to communicate with GenieACS, and the router status to be still online to ensure that I can still communicate with the router for remote management, but users will not have internet access. Conversely, when the internet is turned back on, users should regain access. I would like to implement this functionality through the REST API, which communicates with GenieACS via port 7557. ---

To do this, you need to create two different interfaces on the router. One public internet, one management. Put the management on a tagged vlan. Use DHCP option 43 to push the ACS URL to the CPE. Then set true/false to the appropriate `.Enable` param depending on the desired state. ---
