ippool and Framed-IP-Address
Dear colleagues, I didn't find this info in docs, so asking here. In general, I want to use ippool to assign addresses for connections but sometimes I need to assign addresses manually from the same pool. The question is: if I will use Framed-IP-Address in "users" configuration, how this assignment cab be reflected in ippool's configuration? At the moment I see that, when using manual assignment, db files left untouched, while requesting ippool for the address changes db files - so, probably, ippool isn't aware about Framed-IP-Address in user's config and can assign it sometimes to someone else? On the other hand, there is no kind of 'exclude' option in ippool configuration and I can't exclude addresses which I don't want to be assigned automatically. Are there ways to combine automatic and manual assignments from single pool without conflicts? Thank you. -- Volodymyr Litovka "Vision without Execution is Hallucination." -- Thomas Edison

So the question is:

You don't. The IP pools handle dynamic pools. If you want a static IP address to be assigned to a user, then you have to remove that IP from the pool. And, add another rule to assign it to a user. Alan DeKok.
