Good documentation.

So basically the dhcp server converts Framed-IP-Address radius
attribute into a DHCP reply, and the NAS uses other attributes (like
rate limit). Neat.

In this case FR-side setup is easy. Just create a normal user, but
with client's MAC address as User-Name. Not sure about the blank
password part, but you should be able to just set Access-Type :=
Accept.
