Hi Dogus: In addition to the radiusd.conf and users file config that I assume you've already figured out, you have to define the pool names in raddb/default if you're going to use any pool name other than "main_pool". ie: # Return an address to the IP Pool when we see a stop record. # main_pool custom_pool Here I commented out "main_pool" and defined two new ones, which I configured in radiusd.conf: ippool custom_pool { range-start = 192.168.99.101 range-stop = 192.168.99.253 netmask = 255.255.255.0 cache-size = 251 session-db = ${db_dir}/db.custom_ippool ip-index = ${db_dir}/db.custom_ipindex override = yes } Then in users: DEFAULT Group == vpn_users, Pool-Name :="custom_pool" Framed-Protocol == PPP, Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobson-TCP-IP Where "vpn_users" is a unix group on the radius server. Make sure to remove the db.* files any time you make changes to the pool addresses. You can define as many pools as you want like this. It's not all readily apparent in any docs I found (at least not the first part), but there are examples for the pools in radiusd.conf and users file. HTH, On Tue, 23 Jun 2009, Dogus Yalman wrote:
Hello ; New to this great mailing list and the whole linux world so please bare with me. :)
Im using FreeRADIUS Version 1.1.7 with fedora core 10 and my freeradius frontend is DMA Softlabs Radius Manager.
http://www.dmasoftlab.com/cont/home
My clients are authenticating through distrubuted remote pppoe servers on a wireless network.
I want to use freeradius Ip Pool functionality to assign dynamic public IPs to customers since my frontend doesnt support that feature.
Is there a step by step approach on how to do it ? is just modyfying the radius.conf and users file is enough? Do i have to create any sql tables for this ?
Thanks and greetings from Northern Cyprus
