RE: (usr-tc) static IP address assignments
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. I'd like to specify the address in Framed-IP-Address rather than having to assign a pool. The Windows 2000 version of radius doesn't have a Framed-IP-Address attribute, only USR-Framed-IP-Address-Pool. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Mcadams [mailto:jeffm@iglou.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2001 7:34 PM To: usr-tc@lists.xmission.com Subject: Re: (usr-tc) static IP address assignments Also sprach Jim Tarvid
We use RADIUS to assign static IPs by user. Our usr-tcs assign whatever RADIUS gives them. If they are currently set to a pool of addresses, I am sure you can reconfigure to use RADIUS.
Those two concepts are not mutually exclusive. You can use a pool of addresses for general use on the NETServer or Arc (NETServer only let's you define one pool, Arc will handle just about as many as you want), and use 255.255.255.255 as your Framed-IP-Address in RADIUS and it'll pull from the pool. Or, you can set a real IP address for your Framed-IP-Address in RADIUS and the NETServer and Arc will use that for the IP address for that customer.

RADIUS profiles sound like an implementation specific thing, so I don't think I'm gonna be able to help much there.

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.

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.

Me too. We have had two cases where we had to patch RADIUS - one was to suppress erroneous "ACCOUNTING-DELAY" records from a Portmaster and another to do fix a proxy IP assignment. Fairly easy to do with Cistron RADIUS. I am pretty sure you could compile and run Cistron on MS but this might be time to get your feet wet with a *nix box.
