We are planning to deploy a new freeradius Server, and we would like to manage the IP's from freeradius ip pool, but some time ago we heard that FreeRadis sometimes didnt manage the pool all right.
The only reason people say that is because they aren't sure how IP pool management works.
They said us, it could sometimes duplicate ip's on subscribers.
FreeRADIUS uses a database to manage IP pools. The only way for duplicate IPs to be assigned is: 1) freeradius ignores the database, and assigns duplicate IPs - this doesn't happen 2) the database is broken, and gives duplicate IPs to FreeRADIUS - this doesn't happen 3) You didn't configure the NAS to send accounting packets to FreeRADIUS - this happens sometimes 3) the NAS lets the user stay online even after the IP has expired - this happens a LOT. The simple explanation is that everyone *else* is using FreeRADIUS to assign IPs, and it works. So if it doesn't work for you, then the problem isn't FreeRADIUS.
Does someones knows something about this issue? Is it fixed on last versions?
Be sure that the NAS is sending accounting packets to FreeRADIUS. If it is sending accounting packets then take your NAS, throw it in the garbage, and buy a NAS that works. Alan DeKok.
