Hello all

I need to setup 2 freeradius servers  for mac address authentication.

My scenario is  

Access point  send access-request to 1st  freeradius server to do mac address authentication .

If 1st server doesn’t have MAC Address in database ,it must send this request to 2nd server(which is freeradius server too) to find in another database.

I try to config proxy.conf file in 1st server as follow

 

home_server pri_home_server {

    type = auth+acct

    ipaddr = localhost

    port = 1812

    secret = xxx

    response_window = 20

    zombie_period = 40

    revive_interval = 120

    status_check = status-server

    check_interval = 30

    num_answers_to_alive = 3

}

home_server sec_home_server {

    type = auth+acct

    ipaddr = xxx

    port = 1812

    secret = xxx

    response_window = 20

    zombie_period = 40

    revive_interval = 120

    status_check = status-server

    check_interval = 30

    num_answers_to_alive = 3

}

home_server_pool auth_failover_pool {

    type = fail-over

    home_server = pri_home_server

    home_server = sec_home_server

}

realm users{

       type=radius

       auth_pool=auth_failover_pool

       acct_pool=auth_failover_pool

       nostrip

}

but it doesn’t work 

So the question is

Do I need to config proxy.conf or others files ?

or other method to setup for this scenario ?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
