If you look in the Max reference manual, this will explain what you need to do to make this work... <excerpt from the manual> Auth Send Attr 6,7 Description: Specifies whether the MAX sends values for RADIUS attributes 6 and 7. Typically, it generates appropriate values for RADIUS attribute 6 (user-service) and 7 (framed-protocol) and includes them in authentication requests for incoming calls. To support RADIUS servers that should not receive that information, you can disable this behavior. Note: When this parameter is set to No, the system cannot differentiate between terminal server users, async PPP users that authenticate via the terminal server, and SLIP users that authenticate via the terminal server. Usage: Specify Yes or No. Yes is the default. Yes causes attributes 6 and 7 to be sent to the RADIUS Server in the authentication request. Use this setting if you want to control access to PPP and SLIP via the terminal server explicitly by the RADIUS response, or if you use a MERIT RADIUS server. No excludes attributes 6 and 7 from authentication requests. Example: Auth Send Attr 6,7=Yes Dependencies: This parameter applies only to RADIUS authentication. Location: Ethernet > Mod Config > Auth ...so you can either configure your RADIUS server's user profile with attributes 6 and 7, or you can set this parameter to "No" and things should work fine afterwards. Hi all, I'm looking for suggestions. We have an Ascend Max 6000 that wont let people switch to ppp from the terminal. I have checked and ppp is allowed in both the ethernet->mod config->Tserv options and ethernet->answer->encaps areas. Funnily enough a direct PPP/PAP session still works. I have included output from a login attempt. Also tried a new OS version. Any advice greatly appreciated. My sanity walks a thin line today :) Thanks, David ** Welcome to the Internet ** Username:dave Password: NorthNet>sh us I Session Line: Slot: Tx Rx Service Host User O ID Chan Port Data Rate Type[mpID] Address Name O 332684578 1:2 9:1 64K 64K MPP[4] 203.57.24.253 max6000arm I 332684615 1:18 6:7 49333 26400 Termsrv N/A dave NorthNet>ppp Requested Service Not Authorized NorthNet>slip Requested Service Not Authorized NorthNet>AGGGHHH!!!
