RE: Radius / DHCP
Why don't you try PPPoE + Radius? Basically is the same framework that you have with PPP. And, in your Access Point or Access Point Controller, you allow access to wired network ONLY to the MAC Addresses you have previously defined. Hope this help. -- Esteban. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Stephan ViljoenSent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 4:22 AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Radius / DHCP Hi , this might be one of the supedist questions everybody ever posted to this group , but hey , what the heck , won't know if I don't try heh. :) I was wondering if one can use Radius to do dhcp. Let me give you my scenario , there might be another solution to my problem. I'm running a wireless network where I use radius the auth. my incoming users via a Mac. addy. I then need to give each incomming Mac. address a static IP , this means I need to give the same mac the same IP each time it auth. I tried to give each Mac a 'Framed-IP-Address' as a reply Item but it doesn't seem to take it. Right now it seems that I will need to run a seperate DHCPD server to do that job for me. Is there maybe another way of doing this or am I overlooking something. Kind Regards Stephan
RE: Using Radius for Mac Auth. with Wireless Internet.
What about if the Access Point doesn't support RADIUS functionality? Only a few APs support RADIUS, and LEAP/EAP. -- Esteban. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Michael S.

Username will be the MAC address with the password same as the radius secret (most ones I have used anyway. Username will be either in the format 00-00-00-00-00-00 or 00-00 Basically, go into your access point and point it to the radius server and give it the secret Setup your access point as a client on the radius server and fill in the secret Setup usernames in the users file or in /etc/passwd file if you have unix auth configured (see above for username and password details). -Original Message- From: Stephan Viljoen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 8:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fw: Using Radius for Mac Auth. with Wireless Internet. I'm not sure if this message reached the list , if it did then I'm truly sorry. Hi , I need to setup radius to authenticate an incomming connection VIA Wireless on the incomming PC's Mac Adress. Is there a HOWTO or some documentation laying around somewhere? I know how to auth. the incomming NAS but don't have any idea what the User details should look like in radius it self. I'm using freeradius 0.3 with Mysql Authentication. Kind Regards Stephanâ²Ø§~ì¹»®Þþéì¹»®ÞI硶Úÿ0~·§bºÊ+ùb²ßî±êìÙ¥
