Accounting - FramedIPAddress - DHCP/IPPOOL

[Walter Reynolds]

So even though the AP must know the information, we are unable to get it 
into the radius accounting?  We have to script the coordination between 
the DHCP server?

   A well written DHCP server should be as flexible as FreeRADIUS, and
allow you to write the IP to an SQL table.

   Unfortunately, there is no such DHCP server.
