That RFC actually describes the opposite of what we are talking about. (ie. How a RADIUS server can ask a DHCP server to assign an IP instead of how a DHCP server can ask a RADIUS server to assign an IP) Cheers Peter On Thu 21 Jun 2007, tnt@kalik.co.yu wrote:

Slightly off-topic. Is anyone aware of a DHCP server with radius support. Or even just with exec support? I 'd like to setup a DHPC that will ask a radius server for IP instead of assigning it itself
A radius server assigning IPs .......that is not radius (!) . May be you mean the radius server authenticating (MACs and/or IPs) before the dhcp assigns it; this you have to configure and write your own scripts on the dhcp server to authenticate against the radius. Radius is for AAA
No i meant exactly what i wrote. RADIUS can assign IP's (that's why we have the rlm_pool/rlm_sqlpool modules and the Framed-IP-Address attribute). I need to forward some information to home radius servers first and based on their response decide on the ip pool to give out IP's. Moreover, i need the extensibility and features of freeradius in my setup. I could provide you with the exact details of what i 'd like to achieve but they 're not important for the question asked.A DHCP request can be transformed to an Acesss-Request (with some default password), forwarded to a RADIUS server and the IP assigned by the radius server returned back to the user.
This is a logical integration, and something that I think would be very useful. :-)
