NAS-IP-Address or NAS-Identifier in Access-Request?

[Eric Geier]

Thanks, Alan.

Yes I read that in the RFC, but was wondering what vendors usually do,
what's the most typical, etc. I'm also wondering the same about the
Calling-Station-Id and Called-Station-ID. But sounds like those aren't
included very often, completely optional.

But now that I've thought of it, if there isn't a NAS-IP-Address then
authentication wouldn't work, right? Cause FR needs to lookup the shared
secret based upon the NAS-IP-Address?

RFC's say

An Access-Request MUST contain either a NAS-IP-Address attribute or a
NAS-Identifier attribute (or both).

so, you will get one or the other (or from good vendors, both!)

if you dont get either than the kit isnt fit for purpose, or valid for
anything (because if they cant follow such as basic RFC requirement then
what hope have you for anything else to operte correctly on it?)
