** How to use FreeRADIUS virtual servers --------------------------------------------- Virtual servers provide a powerful way to define unique policies for different traffic sources. When policy rules for each traffic source are defined in their own separate configuration file, it’s a lot simpler to define them, understand them, and debug them. Virtual servers are unique to FreeRADIUS. Other RADIUS servers typically have one global policy, with sub-policies defined in a series of nested if/else statements. Unfortunately, the logic expressed in the if/else statements quickly becomes difficult to understand and maintain for all but the simplest scenarios. As the needs of the network infrastructure evolves over time, the logic statements grow in complexity and become error prone and difficult to debug.
