update control { Class := 0x7f000001 } update reply { Framed-IP-address := &Class } Access-Accept Framed-IP-Address = 127.0.0.1 It normally requires both sides of an assignment to be the same data type. (e.g. ipaddr). In this case, "octets" can be assigned to "ipaddr" because the octets are 4 bytes in length. This functionality makes it easier to manipulate data. The server previously required that all input data was in printable ASCII form. It can now handle limited forms of binary data, too. The next step is to allow the inverse: Class = &Framed-IP-Address Which will also be helpful. In any case, v3 is pretty much done. Unless there are major roadblocks, it will be released by the end of June, 2013. Alan DeKok.
