Hi,
1 - I was wondering if going through the tuto in wiki.freeradius is necessary to be able to authenticate using the mac address ? For one, that rewrite_calling_station_id generates an error at the run of freeradius, plus I've seen some tutos that say that cisco Mac-auth-Bypass can do the trick...
Cisco MAB is a *method* you configure on the switch. it still needs a backend to send the request to - eg a RADIUS server
2 - I can probably do it using the vmps and mac2vlan files supplied by FreeRad, but in mac2vlan they say that radiusd.conf shows how to use it in detail, but that's not the case ! So can you please provide a clear tutorial on how to use vmps with freeradius?
the example VMPS stuff provided gives a clear start. you can either have a flat list of MACs or stick then into a DB and have the VMPS module query the DB. alan
