The server doesn't support Disconnect-Request. And if it did, it would be on a separate port, not 1812. The main problem with Disconnect-Request is that all Access-Accept's have to contain a State attribute. That state has to be unique to the server. That state has to be maintained across server re-starts. The state has to be kept in conjunction with a bunch of other data. And that's not even getting into the reverse proxying nightmare. And that's not even getting into the fact that many NASes don't support Disconnect-Request. For local use of Disconnect-Request, it's easiest to have the server log information to an SQL table, and then query the SQL table for the necessary data, and run radclient using it. Sending the server a Disconnect-Request is probably not that useful... Can I ask what you're trying to do with Disconnect-Request, and why you're sending it to the server?

You need to send it to your NAS, not FreeRadius. Radius does not disconnect your clients, your NAS does... :) Regards, Chris. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean" <sean@swarmhotspots.com> To: <freeradius-users@lists.freeradius.org> Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2006 4:24 PM Subject: Disconnect

Hi,

Does anyone know how to get disconnect to work with radclient? I can get it to return status but when I try disconnect radiusd -X returns the following:-

rad_recv: Disconnect-Request packet from host 127.0.0.1:57181, id=9, length=29 Unknown packet code 40 from client swarm:57181 - ID 9 : IGNORED

Any help or hints would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Sean
