I've got Static IP addresses working with Vircom Radius, but would rather not pay the $1,500 US their asking for, just to add Static IP address functionality. I only need the ability to assign static IP addresses to a couple of users. I've already got dynamic IP assignment from pools working. I'm using the version of Radius that comes with W2K. I've been using the NT 40 version for about three years now without a single problem, other than I've not been able to assign a static IP address to individual users. I've got a years experience with FreeBSD, but our authentication is off of NT, and a migration is out of the question right now. I'm pretty sure I can figure this out, but I think I've missed a concept somewhere along the way. How does Radius know which Framed-IP-Address to assign a specific user? Is this done with an attribute such as Filter-ID or something else? -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Mcadams [mailto:jeffm@iglou.com] Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2001 4:49 AM To: usr-tc@lists.xmission.com Subject: Re: (usr-tc) static IP address assignments Also sprach USRobotics TC Mailing List
Thank you for the quick responses.
I guess I don't know as much about RADIUS as I should.
I know how to create a radius profile, but what I don't know, is how to assign a specific profile to a specific user.
RADIUS profiles sound like an implementation specific thing, so I don't think I'm gonna be able to help much there.
I'd like to specify the address in Framed-IP-Address rather than having to assign a pool.
Right...the question is, are you going to assign static IP addresses to *all* of your customers, or is this just going to be for specific people, and most everyone else gets dynamic IP addresses still. The typical way of handling that is to have a Framed-IP-Address with the static IP address for the users that get the statics, and have it be 255.255.255.255 for the rest of the users, then define an IP pool on each of your NAS systems for the dynamics to pull from.
The Windows 2000 version of radius doesn't have a Framed-IP-Address attribute, only USR-Framed-IP-Address-Pool.
That version of RADIUS (w2k? gack! ;) may call it something different. Maybe just IP-Address or something like that. I'm totally Unix based here, so don't have specific information on your version of RADIUS. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
