Re: Can translation of RADIUS packet attributes (e.g., NAS-Port-Type) be configured?

I am attempting to write accounting data to Postgres database. In the database the NAS port type from the request is stored as the integer value that defines the port type in RFC2865 (e.g., 19 - 'Wireless - IEEE 802.11'). The database table is fixed and cannot be changed. ... Obviously, I can't insert 'Wireless-802.11' into an integer field in the database. Is there away of disabling this lookup so that FreeRADIUS does not translate these values when it receives a packet, or am I going to have to code my own reverse lookup into my accounting module?

Yes, this is documented. See "man unlang". %{NAS-Port-Type#} Alan DeKok.
