Originate DHCP lease query from FreeRadius
Hi Gents, At the time of access request I need to do DHCP lease query to the DHCP server (external ) to get the MAC address of the device. I need to know if there is a module that does that ( originate a lease query to dhcp server) or I have to write external script to be called as pre-auth hook. Regards, Waqas Toor

You'll need to run an external script. The goal for v4 is that this can be done natively in the server. The downside is it involves changing configuration which people have used for 15 years. But, the benefit is that things which used to be impossible will now become trivial. Alan DeKok.
Thanks Alan, Can you point me to a document that explains your comment "The goal for v4 is that this can be done natively in the server" As it is new installation on our servers so for initial feasibility it can help me Waqas Toor On Sun, Mar 19, 2017 at 3:54 PM, Alan DeKok <aland@deployingradius.com> wrote:

The current version of the server is 3.0.13. We suggest everyone use that. v4 is in development, and won't be released for a while. There is some documentation for v4, but it is design documentation, i.e. how to design the internals of v4. And therefore not suitable for administrators. Alan DeKok.
