Re: (ASCEND) radius help
> what do i need to know about the max config to fix this...
Well, I believe the answer is nothing.
An Ascend MAX will always include the NAS-Port attribute, unless it is not
applicable - for instance in an Accounting-On message or when the connection
is not associated with a physical port (a virtual or tunneled session).
You might also want to ask your RADIUS server vendor if these are really
error messages or just informational messages. Keep in mind that the RADIUS
Accounting RFC states that the NAS-Port is not a MUST.
RFC 2139 RADIUS Accounting
SHOULD This word, or the adjective "recommended", means that there
may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to
ignore this item, but the full implications must be
understood and carefully weighed before choosing a
different course.
...
Any attribute valid in a RADIUS Access-Request or Access-Accept
packet is valid in a RADIUS Accounting-Request packet, except that
the following attributes MUST NOT be present in an Accounting-
Request: User-Password, CHAP-Password, Reply-Message, State.
Either NAS-IP-Address or NAS-Identifier MUST be present in a
RADIUS Accounting-Request. It SHOULD contain a NAS-Port or NAS-
Port-Type attribute or both unless the service does not involve a
port or the NAS does not distinguish among its ports.
If you think something else is going on, you will need to tell us what the
software version and load on the MAX is, and you will need to include a dump
of the RADIUS message.
