Hi,
Hello Lutfi -
From the logfile you sent, it appears to me to be a logfile from Radiator A, as
the NasType would have to be set to Cisco for SNMP to be used for simultaneous
use.
Before we go much further though, I think I need to better understand your
requirements. At the moment you are running two different Radiator hosts - can
you expain the reason for this? And do you want to continue doing it? Most
installations using two Radiator hosts do so for the reasons of reliability,
and generally have the same configuration on both, with the NAS's configured to
use one host or the other, with the second host as a secondary.
Now we are using three Radiators on the same time because we want to split the load. We have about 100 Access servers and we are going to have more.
Our requirements are:
-To authenticate users from a SQL database
-We have limited (like 10 hours per month or only to connect between 23:00 and 07:00) accounts
-We don't allow any simultaneous use
-Accounting
-Reliability
-Mixed NAS environment (Cisco & CVX & Lucent)
Another question I have is where is the database? Is it on a seperate SQL host?
It would be preferable if it were so, as both Radiator hosts need access to the
same database for accounting and also for the session database.
Yes, it's on a seperate host.
There is another well-known problem with Cisco's and radius accounting and SNMP, as the values for NAS-Port (or Cicso-NAS-Port) are different from what is reported by SNMP queries. Unfortunately this depends on the IOS version and
seems to be fairly random, so it has been very hard to try to sort out.
So? What should we use? Or should we modify the code for the right queries?
Please let me know in a bit more detail what your requirements are and I'm sure
we can come up with a sensible plan.
The most important thing is that to use mixed access servers with the same Radius server and with simultaneous use option.
regards
Hugh
Kind Regards
Lutfi
