The Pool-Name attribute is attached to a RADIUS request, and is checked by the rlm_ippool module before any action is taken. Its existance does not depend on the rlm_ippool module, but nothing else (to my knowledge) uses it. Putting the pool name into the sections of the config file triggers the instance of the rlm_ipool module to act upon the current request, as it passes through that stage of processing. rlm_ippool allocates IP addresses when called from post-auth, and marks IP addresses as free again when called from accounting. I hope that clarifies things. -- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, on an alternate email client. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
