AW: [EXTERNAL] AW: AW: Setting Framed-MTU Attribute

Thu Mar 24 05:46:27 UTC 2022

Hi,

As far as I know, the APs (from Ubiquity) send the requests to the RADIUS. I didn't found any option to change the MTU...

So as I understand you, there is no solution for my problem, is it? The only way is to configure a RADIUS in the other office, do I'm right?
If so, is there any possibility to have the RADIUS in the second office configured as "slave" of the main office? So, that if I change something in the configuration in the main office, this changes will be propagated to the second office?

Or maybe there is another way to solve my problem?

Thanks a lot
Luca Bertoncello

Option 1

Does the sender of the RADIUS request actually support Framed-MTU. If not RADIUS isn’t magic it can’t make the RADIUS client do things it has not support for.

Q2. Is this something like a router that’s getting the MTU update ? If that’s the case the client devices behind it will still send large packets. There are ways to try to enforce smaller MTU packets at least for TCP but its distinctly messy. For UDP (as in your example)  you are at the mercy of the client which may not even look at the network MTU.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] AW: AW: Setting Framed-MTU Attribute
Hi Matthew,

I have an "update reply" in my server part. Of course not in post-auth, since the problem is previous...
I added it to the preacct section, but of course it does not help.

My problem is that the communication does not survive the site-to-site VPN (with OpenVPN).
With tcpdump I see:

13      0.341592        10.6.21.10      10.0.21.10      IPv4    1516    Fragmented IP protocol (proto=UDP 17, off=0, ID=2021)

Searching for this error got me the "result", I have to change the Framed-MTU and as I didn't got it after one day work, I asked the list.

Now you write, this change will not help. And I see, it does not help, as you predicted.
The MTU on the  VPN tunnel is currently  1500.

Or I did not understand what you mean?

Thanks
Luca Bertoncello

As Alan said, the default config is full of examples of how to update attributes. You just have to read it. Updating attributes is also documented in the unlang man pages.

e.g.

https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FFreeRADIUS%2Ffreeradius-server%2Fblob%2Fv3.0.x%2Fraddb%2Fsites-available%2Fdefault%23L864-L867&data=04%7C01%7Calister.winfield%40sky.uk%7Cfd6d152165f24f726faf08da0ce503da%7C68b865d5cf184b2b82a4a4eddb9c5237%7C0%7C0%7C637836475147410898%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=g6PQ267Fv3daSeZlcLz6OMdYT5F7Caqayy%2F4DjieTvY%3D&reserved=0

Because as you've already been told, attr_filter *removes* attributes, it doesn't add them.

update reply {
   Framed-MTU := 1000
}

 From your original post, though, I suspect this won't help. That attribute is for telling the NAS what MTU to use. It won't make its way through to any device on wifi.

If you have a VPN in the way of that RADIUS server that's causing MTU problems, drop the MTU on the NAS or RADIUS server, or fix the VPN / PMTUD so that the path MTU is calculated correctly. You can't fix that by changing attributes.
