I would think usually the answer is neither. The internet connection is usually supplied by a third box on the network. The NAS is the point of contact and the RADIUS server is the box that handles the authentication requests. If authentication succeeds the client is allowed to connect through the NAS on to the network. Once on the network it is free to make DHCP requests or whatever and then get routed accordingly. Only then does it get default gateway information that it can use to connect to the internet so to speak.
I think that is correct. Mike On Wed, May 18, 2011 at 2:16 PM, googerdi <googe...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > It is possible that my question is low level but it is key for me.
