IP address assignment for the authenticated users in Free

[Anoop C]

Alan Thanks for the quick reply.
I would like to have one more clarification.
Can we use IP addrss as Attribute value pair so that the RADIUS server
throws IPs dynamically to users after authentication.

  For WiFi authentication, you need a DHCP server.  Sending IP addresses
to the NAS in a RADIUS packet won't work.

  No.  You need a DHCP server.

  You can configure FreeRADIUS to be a DHCP server, but that involves
creating a DHCP configuration, not a RADIUS configuration.
