 Subject: (RADIATOR) Determining NAS vendor and model
 Hi,

 From a user-defined Authentication module, is it possible to determine the
 Vendor and router model of the authenticating (or accounting) NAS? (ie.
 SNMP?)

Within Radiator you can use the Client NasType to find out what sort of NAS the
client is, for example:

$p-{Client}-{NasType}

will give you the NasType of the CLient that the packet was received from.

But to get the exact model type, you will have to issue an SNMP request, in a
differetn way for each NAS. There is no support code in radiator to do this
(yet).

Hope that helps.
Cheers.

How does Radiator determine this? SNMP? If so, SNMP has to be enabled in
the router, yes?

No, thats just the string you enter as NasType in your Client clause eg:

Client 1.2.3.4
Secret xxx
NasType Livingston
/Client

in that case the string "Livingston" is available as $p-{Client}-{NasType} in
any packet $p received from that client.

After that, its up to you.

In the impending release 2.14, we expect to have much better support for doing
SNMP with NASs

Cheers.
