No available IP Addresses in the pool ...

30 Apr 2007

      Hello everyone,

FreeRadius 1.0.1 from RHEL 4.

I get the following error (only shown in debug mode) after 1-2 weeks of 
server working fine, without any issues:

rlm_ippool: Searching for an entry for nas/port: 172.25.254.218/9931392
rlm_ippool: No available ip addresses in pool.
   modcall[post-auth]: module "<pool_name>" returns notfound for request 0

The outcome of this error is that the client is not issued any IP 
address (which is a show stopper).

Here is the pool declaration:

	#  IP pool used by ************
	#----------------------------------
	ippool *************** {
		range-start = 172.26.4.1
		range-stop = 172.26.5.254
		netmask = 255.255.254.0
		cache-size = 300
		session-db = ${raddbdir}/ippools/*********-db.ippool
		ip-index = ${raddbdir}/ippools/*********-db.ipindex
		override = no
		maximum-timeout = 86400
	}

The only fix so far was to remove the pool files and recreate them again.

Any thoughts of what could be wrong ?

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,
Florin
