* This is the VOP Radius mailing list *
I tried getting the nice people at Vircom to answer this, but they wanted
me to purchase a $1200 support contract (on upgrades only right now) and I
didn't really think it was worth that much, I'd rather bang my head on it
some more before I went that route... But, I thought I might see if anyone
else was running up against this at all...
We're having problems getting our VOPRadius (latest revision) to log the IP
addresses of our DSL customers coming in through our Cisco router and put
it into our Platypus CallsOnline database. It seems that the initial
accounting packet is not including the IP address assigned from the pool on
the Cisco.
Right now I've "kinda" solved it by using watchdog packets. On the Cisco I
set them up using:
aaa accounting update periodic X (where X is the timer in minutes)
But, you can also put in
aaa accounting update newinfo periodic X
which tells it not only to send the update packets every X minutes, but to
send any updates immediately when they happen (which in this case it sends
a packet almost immediately after the initial packet when the IP address is
initially assigned - you can also do just the update packets, but that runs
into other problems from what I can see).
However, after a user is "updated" in any way, their "AcctStatusType" in
the CallsOnline database gets set to "-1", which with the way that field
was originally set up in that table wouldn't work (the field was a tiny int
which can't be -1)...
Does anyone know why it is setting this field to "-1"? Is there any way I
can keep it from doing this, or any reason I shouldn't let it become "-1"?
Another question would be, is there any way to get VOPRadius to accept the
"newinfo" packet without setting the watchdog timer? This would keep it
from having to update every X minutes which might be nice...
Or alternatively, does anyone know of a better way to be handling
this? (and I did try SNMP updates too, no effect on getting the IP address)...
