Hi Friend,
 
  I am new to Free radius server but I have worked on windows base RADIUS server.
 
  As I understood your requirement that u wanted to authenticate only switches & PDU, on basis of group belongs.
 
  For this below are some logic steps that could help you out.
 
 1. Switches & PDu request should go to radius, for this you can try 802.1x configuration to redirect authentication to wards radius.
 2. U should have radius configuration for authentication mechanism
 
    In this basis validity (e.g mac, name) & pl check while request coming towards radius should have an infortion abt grup details.
for group in radius server should be connected to LDAP server where groups are configure. Also auth. mechanism for radius should contain check for "device belongs to which group"
3. client should have same configuration done for security, as the policies are set on radius server.

I'm trying to setup freeradius to authenticate users via LDAP but pull group
information via MySQL.  I currently only need radius for authentication to
network devices (switches, PDUs, etc) but want to make sure I set it up so
that I don't shoot myself in the foot later.

In trying to get the correct attributes assigned to a group I've noticed that
I need to set Fall-Through on each group that a user belongs to in order to
have later groups evaluated.  Is there a better way that I can say something
like, "this client should check for access from these groups" so that I only
need to set Fall-Through on certain groups instead of all?
