The CPU on the CRS is fairly limited (similar in capability to the RB2011), and the switch chip onl...

Re: freeradius_dhcp with mikrotik

Hm, if it's assigning correctly in debugging mode, then what does the tail of the radius log (RHEL based default location is /var/log/radius/radius.log) show when you attempt an authorization with RADIUS running in service mode?

Re: freeradius_dhcp with mikrotik

In order to get useful FreeRADIUS debug information with radiusd -X, you need to do the following: 1) Stop the FreeRADIUS service (service radiusd stop if you're on a RHEL based distro, not 100% sure of the Debian way to do it) 2) Use radiusd -X to start FreeRADIUS in debug mode 3) Make the DHCP req...
