Well I'm trying to configure 2 pools of IPs, where these pools should be created? can it be done on the radius and this radius will take care of giving the IPs to the users? or should I configure a dhcp and relay it to the radius?
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.

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..
