Hello Freeradius
users!
I have a recurring
problem that I'm wondering if any of you have run into. I am currently running
freeradius 1.1.4 (haven't had time to upgrade yet) on Suse Linux SLES 10
together with a Myql DB engine.
I am using IP pools
to supply users coming from various NAS:es with IP adresses. These IP pools
seem to run out of IP adresses which is surprising given that I have more IP
adresses than users for each NAS. Basically, new access requests don't
get anywhere because there aren't any free IPs left. Once I stop
freeradius, delete the ip pools and start freeradius again everything is fine.
It is annoying however....
I suspect the
problem may be related to the fact that some sessions do not recieve
accounting session stop packets. This happens alot so currently I'm working
around the issue by way of a cron jobb that deletes the IP pools and restarts
freeradius every night - but this is a workaround and I really would like a
better solution. Particularly since the problem creeps up in daily operations
aswell.
Also; I have no
control over the NAS:es but I can discuss the issue with the NAS admins if
i know what to look for!
Does anyone have any
suggestions / ideas / experiences with this sort of problem?
Thanks and Best
Regards,
Johannes
