Hiya Graeme,
If you are using an SQL database backend it is very easy to implement
this...
You setup group names in the radgroupreply table with the attributes to be
returned to the NAS for that group - you can have multiple records with the
same group name to allow multiple attributes. Each group name would be used
for the different rates and respective burst values and whatever attributes
returned to the NAS that are specific to that group:
IE: groupname attribute Value op
rate1 rate 500 +=
rate1 burst 800 +=
rate2 rate 1000 +=
rate2 burst 1200 +=
( the '+=" op value states to add the A/V (attribute/value) pair to the NAS
response even if there is another A/V pair with the same name, if you know
for a fact there is not an A/V pair with the same name you can just use '='
instead)...
and so on for each group you are defining.
You then put the username in the usergroup table with the name of the group
the user is assigned...
IE: Username Groupname
user1 rate1
user2 rate2
user3 rate1
user4 rate1
user5 rate2
ad nausium...
Freeradius should do the rest...
The nice thing is all you have to do to change the rate and bust information
for the user's assigned to a group is to change the value in the
radgroupreply table and it changes for all users defined in that group.
I think I got this right - YMMV
gm...
