Multiple instances of pppoe and coa ports

Post by hashbang »

Hi,
I'm running accel-pppd with multiple instance bcoz of many service names needed. How will single coa port works ? For instance
accel-ppp.conf
dae=1.2.3.4:3799

accel-124
dae=????
or only I have to use dae settings only in one file. As u cannot have multiple same listening port on same address

thanks

Hi, you need set dae-server for each instance. Note: you need use different ports, e.g.

INSTANCE 1

Code: Select all

[radius]
dae-server=1.2.3.4:3799,secret
INSTANCE 2

Code: Select all

[radius]
dae-server=1.2.3.4:3800,secret
INSTANCE 3

Code: Select all

[radius]
dae-server=1.2.3.4:3801,secret

hi,
Thanks, but is it possible for radius to have different ports for dm/coa for the same nas ? Cant it work for single file config and leaving others without dae ?

thanks

1. Possible.
2. Instances without dae-server can't serve CoA from RADIUS

For CoA request many people usually use radclient.

Code: Select all

echo ""User-Name=test, Session-Timeout=1000" |  radclient x.x.x.x:3799 disconnect testing123
You can set host and port which you wish.

this is just the command but the problem is how will radius know which client is logged in on what server and coa port. I have 5 instance running with 3799 to 3803. How will radclient come to know which port to use for a certain user from the above mentioned ports. I'm just making a work around that nases will be added with different ip address in radius and same ip addr and port will be listening to dae request(one ip per instance). I this scenario there is wastage of ip address which is already in short or use a private ip address on all the instances except 1st instance or a looped request with all the ports in nas and send coa to all the ports

You can use different [radius]NAS-Identifier for each instance
