I am trying to get daloradius to work for my situation. I would like to have my ip pools for my pppoe servers defined centrally in radius. But for pppoe to work there needs to be defined a “Local Address”. This however severely limits the power that comes from a centralized ip pool management, because I can only set 1 address for “Local Address” (so only one subnet), and I have to do it statically on each pppoe server.

I’m pretty certain there must be a radius attribute to use for my situation?
Please help!

I’m using Framed-Pool radius attribute for defining the pool however if I don’t have a “local IP address” in the PPPOE profile of my mikrotik nas I get the error mentioned in the previous post. So I need a way to also tell the PPPOE server about the its IP address. I’m pretty sure this exists but I have not found a reference to it. Any ideas?

OK problem sorted. It turns out you DO need a LOCAL ADDRESS in PPPoE profile for things to work, and it doesn’t matter if the address is not in the same subnet as the ip that the client may receive from a pool (either local or radius) because its Point-To-Point-Protocol :slight_smile: so I was being silly.

Since my original problem of having the radius server manage the pools is not sorted I will be starting a new thread without all the clutter of this one.
