Hi, we have been having quite a bit of trouble getting ascend to assign an
IP address. We have radius running fine on a LINUX box using the following
users info:

initial-banner Password = "ascend" User-Service = Dialout-Framed-User
Reply-Message = "Connexus Communications",
Reply-Message = ""

initial-banner-xxx Password = "ascend" User-Service = Dialout-Framed-User
Reply-Message = "Connexus Communications",
Reply-Message = ""

banner Password = "ascend" User-Service = Dialout-Framed-User
Reply-Message = "Connexus Communications",
Reply-Message = ""

pools-cnxusklwn0100m01 Password = "ascend", User-Service =
Dialout-Framed-User
Ascend-IP-Pool-Definition = "3 206.87.114.169 72"

pools-cnxusklwn0100m02 Password = "ascend", User-Service =
Dialout-Framed-User
Ascend-IP-Pool-Definition = "3 206.87.114.73 96"

pools-cnxusvanc0107m01 Password = "ascend", User-Service =
Dialout-Framed-User
Ascend-IP-Pool-Definition = "3 206.87.114.1 48"

DEFAULT Password = "UNIX"
User-Service = Framed-User, Framed-Protocol = PPP,
Framed-MTU = 1500, Ascend-Assign-IP-Pool = 3,
Ascend-Send-Auth = Send-Auth-PAP,
Ascend-Idle-Limit = 900,
Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobsen-TCP-IP

I am guessing that when we get failed login attempts from
pools-cnxusvanc0107m01 it is the ascend box trying to get the IP address
pool, so I made the followin entries in the RadConfigs table in our MS
Access ODBC database:

RadConfigID
AccountID
RadAttributeID
Data
Value
RadVendorID
RadVendorType
RadCheck

36
4347
217
3 206.87.114.73 96

37
4347

4327

Dialout-Framed-User
5

0
0

41
4327
217
3 206.87.114.169 72
0
0
0
0

I am hoping that these entries inthe database will duplicate the effect of
the pools-xxxxxxxxxxxx entries in the users file. Can anyone confirm for me
that this is the case, before I take our entire service down testing it?

Thanks for all your help,

This needs to be a CHECK attribute. You don't have the last field (RadCheck)
set to 1 (you have it set to 0, which means it is a reply attribute and will
be sent back to the Ascend). I'm assuming here that the AccountID of 4347
has a login of pools-cnxusklwn0100m02? You need to change the User-Service
to a check attribute on the other ones as well.
