Re: (ASCEND) Ascend Radius Attributes and RFC 2138 and 2139. (fwd)



Once upon a time Rob Myers shaped the electrons to say...

Oh. Well, if you are say using PortMaster's instead of a MAX you can just
do 'set reported_ip x.x.x.x' on all the chassis and they'll all report the
same IP to their dial in users.  Makes them look like one big box to the
dialin side.

Or, if you need to do this by user, you can use the local user table - but
not RADIUS.

>Does the RFC 2138 "NAS-IP-Address" do the same thing as
>"Ascend-PPP-Address"?

No, that is sent FROM the NAS TO RADIUS, and contains the IP address of
the NASes primary interface as its identifier.
