It means you didnt configure something currently..

Re: configuring FreeRadius pools
Welli The problem is you still haven't exactly explained what you are trying to do with radius. Are you assigning the IP addresses from pools on radius or pools on the patton? Assuming that radius is assigning the pools, you simply need to create 2 of them. (Read the radiusd.conf the comments explain it) Then configure radius to return an address from the first pool by default, and the second pool when the patton sends whatever information it sends to say that the user is authed or valid or whatever. You need to figure that out as I dont have any experience with patton. RADIUS is not magic. It can only respond when asked a question, and it can only give an answer based on what it is asked. You therefore need to make sure that patton is asking 2 different questions, and configure your 2 different replies based on what question it is asking... radiusd -X (debug mode) is your friend in this instance..

There are no DHCP to RADIUS gateways. I tried to configure on the radius , in the config file file, in the ippools section, 2 pools of IPs, but it didn't work. That's a pretty pointless comment.

RE: configuring FreeRadius pools
Hi; I have configured a RAS Patton 2960, it's connected to the FreeRadius Server. The authentication and everything is working great with postgre database. I've been reading in the radiusd.conf file, there's something in it called ippools. I tried to configure 2 different pools, but when I test it, I get the pool configured on the Ras only, this means it's not working. My problem consists in the following: I want to configure 2 pools, the first one is a fake IP pool,where the dial up user on the patton gets an IP from this pool, and then he will enter the necessary information, once all the informations entered are true, he will reconnect with his new username, then he will get an IP from the other pool wich contains real IPs. I don't have a problem in configuring the redirection page or in writing any script, but in configuring the 2 pools of IPs, can it be done on the Radius directly, or should I configure a DHCP server. If so, how can I relay the Radius to the DHCP?
