AW: dynamic VLANs for many switches

I'm looking for a way to work with switches that do not support VLAN Names, and therefore I believe it is a free radius question. E.g. It would be possible for me to create a table with the VLAN IDs and the NAS IPs, so that freeradius could match them and send the correct VLAN ID, but I don't know how to use the NAS IP for such an lookup. Or maybe there is a better way to do it.

I don't know the vendor of the switches so far as it is a running "public tendering  procedure" (hope that's the correct English term for it) where I was not able to require it as MUST feature, but I need to make the planning for migration and implementation of dynamic VLANs now. ;-(
