hello dave i know the following: the clients dsl router establishes a pppoe connection with the NAS (my a cisco access router with pppoe support and authentification agains radius). the NAS needs the framed-ip, compression type, mtu, etc. from the radius. the radius is getting a request with the encrypted password from the NAS. if the login is correct the radius will answer with a accept packet and the information like framed-ip, mut, compression type, etc. Dave schrieb:

I was just hoping someone here could explain to me how the radius server process works. My situation will be authorizing for DSL.

I think the process is: My DSL wholesaler gets requests for a logins under my realm to their NAS, then sends it to me, then I send back a yes or no answer.

My question is what information do I have to supply to my DSL wholesaler and what information do I need from them? regarding authorization types or encryption?

Any info would help a lot.

Thanks
