Hi there, we're starting to deploy a couple of DSLMAX20 to connect customers via SDSL. We'd like to use the following setup: - customer CPE connects to MAX in "switched" (not nailed) mode, running PPP encapsulation (reason: gathering accounting information for these "calls") - MAX authenticates these "calls" via an existing RADIUS (Merit based originally, somewhat "ascendified":-)) server. This server has been in use for years for MAX4000 and MAX6000. I've set up the MAX with the identical parameters as on the dial-in routers, and after booting, it nicely asks the RADIUS server for configuration records (like permanent connections, static routes, etc). It successfully installs a static dial-out route, for example. However, I can't for the heck of it get the thing to authenticate either incoming calls, or use RADIUS for the downloaded dial-out static-route (both are things that work fine on the dial-up routers). The RADIUS server doesn't log any packets upon connection attempts of the CPE. If I configure the identical profile I keep on the RADIUS server as a local connection profile, things work just fine... Does anyone have an idea what I'm missing? Oh, I tried this initially with TAOS8.0.2, then 8.0.3, and then I even reverted to 7.10.6, same thing, same non-operational behavior.
