Thanks Matthew Yep, you are correct in that it is not particularly usefully to not have that feature. I will check if the NAS follows through with an interim update but don't really recall seeing any later packets coming through. It is a known issue with the NAS which I only discovered during the trial, hence me putting out the question regarding the proxy. Regarding you mentioning getting the IP address from the DHCP logs, is there known way to do such? May need to look at other systems as we need accounting for our content filter system. Thanks for the input once again. - Regards - Byron On Sun, Jun 11, 2017 at 8:08 PM, Matthew Newton <mcn@freeradius.org> wrote:

We are trailing a wifi system that does not send through the Framed IP Address attribute to our accounting server after the clients have successfully authenticated
That's not particularly useful.
Some NASes send the IP later in an Interim-Update. Have you checked that?
I am of the mindset of setting up a Freeradius proxy server locally onsite with the purpose of sending back an accounting start with the Framed IP Address attribute to the accounting server but am unsure if this is even possible
Not sure where you expect the proxy server to get the data from if the NAS never sent it in the first place.
You need to fix the NAS, or look at another place to get the IP address from such as the DHCP logs.
If the NAS can't be fixed now might be a good time to trial a different wireless system if you need that functionality...
