Re: Fixed IP
Hi Mahesh, This is *totally* independent of the authentication process. You don't need to do anything to the RADIUS server to do this. You need a DHCP server. When your client (the PC) is attached to a particular subnet, it will request a DHCP address by sending a broadcast to find a DHCP server. The DHCP server will see the MAC address from which the request was sent and, if a one-to-one mapping between that MAC address and an IP address exists in the config files for the DHCP server, it will return that IP address. The RADIUS server's job is over well before that happens (except for any accounting it may do).

You can't with radius. 802.11 clients assign IP addresses by DHCP after the link, so you would need to configure the DHCP server appropriately. (In theory one could push an IP from FreeRadius into the DHCP server e.g. in the post-auth section with an exec module, but that would be a custom solution you'd have to make yourself) - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Re: Fixed IP
This is probably best achieved using DHCP rather than RADIUS. Once RADIUS has authenticated the user and the device is connected to the subnet, you'll normally obtain a dynamic IP address via DHCP. DHCP can be configured to give a fixed IP address to a particular MAC address. Rgds, Guy On 26/06/06, Mahesh S Kudva <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi I am running Freeradius on Mac OS X.
