Dynamic IP Allocation With Freeradius

[Ivan Kalik]

>Dear Friends,
>
>Right now I have setup working of freeradius with mysql authentication. I have static & dynamic group created in mysql and all seems working. Currently static IPs are provided by radius with mysql backend. But dynamic IP is provided by Cisco Router. Cisco router is configured as PPPOE/PPPOA. Cisco does all authentication with freeradius. 
>
>Now what I want is to provided Dynamic IPs with freeradius instead of Cisco. I have searched alot and tried few setting but that didnt worked. Is it possible to configure USERS file and have all dynamic users get dynamically using USERS file ? I checked but wasnt sucessful. Or a solution in mysql itself.

All you have to do is add Pool-Name := main_pool as a check item in user
configuration. Doesn't matter is it in users or sql. It makes sense to
make a group for dynamic users and add this to radgroupcheck. You should
also consider netmask 255.255.255.255 for PPP users. There is no reason
why would they see each other on the network.
