lookingfor some information to test a dictonary rules
Hi all: I am running freeradius on ubuntu I was looking for a way to limit bandwith, I thought I found it buy createing a dictionary rule set for the wireless kit I am use. heres is a snip of what I am doing I created the proxim.dictionary in /usr/share/freeradius # Proxim dictionary # VENDOR Proxim 841 BEGIN-VENDOR Proxim ATTRIBUTE Proxim-Input-Limit 1 integer ATTRIBUTE Proxim-Uplink-Limit 1 integer ATTRIBUTE Proxim-Output-Limit 2 integer ATTRIBUTE Proxim-Downlink-Limit 2 integer END-VENDOR Proxim and put the limits in with the user files. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0012cf-016942 Auth-Type := Accept Proxim-Input-Limit = 128, Proxim-Output-Limit = 64 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- for what I can tell it all works. when running tests from a proxim subsubscriber unit it looks like the bandwidth restrictions don't take place. Now do I have to tell it 128k instead of just useing 128? Both types work. Or do I have to use the uplink and downlink instead or with the input/output? Or are my setting right and I need to look elsewhere for an answer? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cameron

Does the wireless box document what attributes it expects? Does it document what those attributes are, what they mean, and how to use them?
ATTRIBUTE Proxim-Input-Limit 1 integer ATTRIBUTE Proxim-Uplink-Limit 1 integer ATTRIBUTE Proxim-Output-Limit 2 integer ATTRIBUTE Proxim-Downlink-Limit 2 integer
Well, that won't work. You've given 2 attributes the same number... twice.
for what I can tell it all works.
No... the server sends those attributes in a reply. Whether or not the NAS understands them is another story.
Now do I have to tell it 128k instead of just useing 128? Both types work. Or do I have to use the uplink and downlink instead or with the input/output?
The only answer is to see the Proxim documentation. FreeRADIUS doesn't include a Proxim dictionary, so we have no idea what it should be, or how it should work. Alan DeKok. -- http://deployingradius.com - The web site of the book http://deployingradius.com/blog/ - The blog
I hope you will keep this thread updated with your progress. We use many proxim devices and I'd be interested to follow... Andrew
