Binding FreeRadius to the DHCP Server

As a matter of fact, for the first login, the users will have an IP from a
certain pool X, once the informations are entered, and after redialing, the
users will get the new IP from the second pool Y.

All I want to know is if it's possible to bind the radius to a DHCP server,
if yes how it can be done? Otherwise, is there any other pssible method to
configure 2 pools of Ips X and Y and relay it to the DHCP?

Thanks
Elie

  Sounds like a captive portal to me.

  Write a script.  The server doesn't normally interact with DHCP.

  What you're saying is a very convoluted way of:

  a) some users get IP's from pool X
  b) other users get IP's from pool Y
