Subject: Calling-Station-Id
This is my very first post, so apologies if I'm posting to the wrong list.
OS CentOS 5.3
Kernel 2.6.18-128
My setup is PPTP client >> INTERNET >> pptpd (1.3.4) / PPP (2.4.4.-2) /
Radius (2.1.6)
in /etc/pptpd I have noipparam commented in order that the client's IP
address is pass to PPP
in /var/log/messages the clients ip is passed
Sep 7 21:41:32 vpn1 pppd[9945]: ipparam 78.8X.18X.XX # (from
command line)
man pppd
ipparam string
Provides an extra parameter to the ip-up, ip-pre-up and
ip-down scripts. If this option is given, the string
supplied is given as the 6th parameter to those scripts.
pppd does NOT do anything withit. It is up to your scripts to do something with
it. pppd certainly does not send it on to the other end.
But why do you care? ppp is peer to peer . It does not use ip addresses. And
usually your address is given by the remote side since it is what has to
forward the packets to you, and you simply dump the packets onto the line--
there is no routing.
Note also that that line in the logs is NOT passing anything. It simply states
that pppd has received that parameter from the command line. It does not say
it has done anything with it.
But what ends in Radius is Calling-Station-Id = "8.87" and not the FULL
IP.
I searched google and I can see alot of people have had this problem, but
I've not be able to find a fix.
Thx
Nev
