Hi Guys

I have a debian (sarge) server running free radius. I have a cisco wireless access point which is using mac authentication. I've gotten a test user being authenticated.
What I'm not sure how to handle its the assigning of IPs. If possible I'd like to use my normal dhcp server. If I'm not using ppp, the radius server isn't involved in the issuing of ips at all, right?


Any suggestions appreciated.


Cisco wireless AP will authenticate, authorize and account(AAA) against
RADIUS server.

So, it will also AAA with free RADIUS as I understand free radius.

Since accounting is also  provided by the RADIUS server,
RADIUS needs to know the ip-address of cisco wireless AP to
provide accounting services for that AP  and
so the RADIUS server  supplies the ip-address itself. I do not
think that if you use RADIUS for AAA it will allow DHCP.

To check the available AAA config options, run config on your cisco AP.
After entering the command:

aaa new-model

enter the '?' as the first character and only character on the
next line. It will list the available 'aaa' command options.
