Framed-IP-Address (8). Bay Networks Radius

RADIUS Attributes

Framed-IP-Address (8)

Specifies the IP address to be assigned to the remote user.

Usage: Used in both Access-Request and Access-Accept packets.

If the RAC configuration parameter address_origin is set to auth_server and the RADIUS server specifies a Framed-IP-Address (8) in the Access-

Accept packet, the RAC uses that framed address as the IP network address of the remote user.

If the server does not return a Framed-IP-Address (8) attribute, or if

address_origin is set to local, the RAC uses the IP address specified by the RAC remote_address configuration parameter. For information about remote_address and address_origin, see the Remote Access

Concentrator Software Reference or the Remote Annex Administrator’s

Guide for the platform you are using.

RADIUS defines two special values for Framed-IP-Address (8):

• 255.255.255.255, which indicates that the RAC allows the remote user to negotiate the address.

• 255.255.255.254, which indicates that the RAC uses DHCP to assign an address for this user. If the server returns

255.255.255.254, the RAC uses DHCP, if DHCP is supported and configured (see Managing the Remote Access Concentrator

Using Command Line Interfaces). Otherwise, the RAC uses the value of the remote_address configuration parameter.

Multiple Instances Allowed: No.

Dependencies: This attribute is meaningful only for framed IP connections. The RAC ignores it for other connection types.
