Yes, it is definitley my bad english.
I am not using freeradius as DHCP, i am using freeradius as mac address 
checker. That part is working ok. I am using freeradius for long time 
and it is a great product. But, cisco ISG is new to me.
I have setup cisco ISG as a DHCP server. when cisco receives DHCP 
request it takes MAC address and asks freeradius if that mac address has 
access to internet. Based on freeradius Access-Accept/Reject i am using 
diferent policies applied to user.
And it works. At least for CPE devices. But, CM and MTA devices need 
tftp server name and tftp file name. My problem is, and i have searched 
for more than 15 days, how or even if possible, to use freeradius to 
send BOOTP parameters to cisco. Since i wasn't able to find anything 
about that on cisco site i was just asking if anyone has ever done 
something similar to help me. I wasn't asking how would i do that in 
freeradius or am i able to do that in freeradius. I know freeradius is 
capable of that. I just don't know where to look. I was searching for 
"cisco isg bootp freeradius avpairs" and lot more different searches on 
google but nothing usable came up.
I am sorry for misunderstanding, i wasn't being rude, just out of 
options. Since, in my project i will use freeradius i thought that 
someone else did the same thing before me and because of that i have 
asked a question here.

Thank you and sorry again
