Excellent, thanks for all your comments guys - i have managed to successfully download, compile and install the Freeradius 2.1.1 application and have delved into the vmpsd.conf.inf file Is there any documentation out there on how to get a basic VMPS system up and running? I am purely in the testing stages at the moment, but would like to get the box attached to a switch and begin responding to VMPS requests as quick as possible... Any inout much appreciated, Cheers Jon Hairy51 wrote:
Hi all,
I am just about to start a project to remove the VMPS system from an aging catalyst switch and i would like to investigate the possibilty of using FreeRadius for this.
We currently have about 1500 hosts that rely on VMPS for dynamic assignment and an ideal solution would be to move the VMPS service onto a server (Or multiple servers) with as little interuptions to users as possible.
Also, for simplicities sake it would be great if we could re-use the current Static VMPS file that the catalyst switch uses.
I have looked into FreeNAC as a solution, but want to investigate other ways of acheiving this. We do not really need to do anything other than assign (or block) VLANs, so the extra functionality of FreeNAC is not needed at this point.
Considering i am coming from a limited Linux background, how hard would it be for me to acheive this using FreeRADIUS? Does it sound feasible? I am really looking for a bit of advice from those with experience of the FreeRADIUS application and who know of the potential pit-falls and complications that we may face!
Many thanks - any comments or idea's much appreciated...
Cheers
Jonathan
