Interesting concept -- but why would you want to do that? All of the applications that RADIUS provides authentication for already have built-in mechanisms to serve IP addresses. NAS' are the simplest of the bunch, but even WLAN -- the AP needs to be attached to a router of sorts somewhere along the line. If the AP is simply an extension of a wired LAN, the possibility that such a device exists is even greater, as chances are that the rest of, or a large portion of the existing wired LAN uses DHCP already.
In a single AP WiFi Hotspot, usually DSL or a T1 is used which 99% of the time requires a router to encapsulate packets between the different media types. Even the cheapest routers on the market have a DHCP server in them, I'm sure. Don't get me wrong, Arthur, I'm not finding fault. It's an interesting idea -- I'm simply trying to figure out where you would envision such functionality. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of > Artur Hecker > Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 9:36 AM > To: List FreeRADIUS > Subject: IP attribution in Radius > > > hi > > > because i'm too lazy :), could some professional give me some > fast hints > on the possibilities of IP configuration by Radius or simply IP > attribution to users in and by Radius or a short link with compact > information on this topic? > > i would like to know if it's possible to replace dhcp by > radius, e.g. to > use radius IP attribution in particular within WLANs with EAP or to > configure dns by radius means. > > if you could also mention the technics used (attributes, values, > sequences and how it works in the case of proxying) > > > thank you very much > > artur > > > -- > Artur Hecker > artur[at]hecker point! info > > - > List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
