No, you do not want to do this. The pools on separate MAXes should not use the same range of addresses. This would cause the same address to be used by two remote users at the same time and thus would fail. You need to use non-overlapping address ranges. You do not need to provide more addresses per pool than you can have connect to the MAX at one time. This would typically be 23 per PRI. Thus if you have two MAXes, each with two PRIs, you could use: pools-max01 Password = "ascend", User-Service = Dialout-Framed-User Ascend-IP-Pool-Definition = "1 208.15.109.133 46" pools-max02 Password = "ascend", User-Service = Dialout-Framed-User Ascend-IP-Pool-Definition = "1 208.15.109.180 46" If you have more than one address pool per MAX, you can even reduce the number, at the risk of denying users who call a machine whose pool is exhausted. Alternatively, if you really want to have a single address pool split between multiple MAXes, you need to use the Global-IP-Address-Pool option in Ascend RADIUS that makes use of the RADIUS IP Address Daemon (radipad). In my opinion, global IP address pools are more trouble than they are worth. This is in terms of having to use additional software and in terms of the routing headaches inherent in it. ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <STRONG>Follow-Ups</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg09681.html">Re: (ASCEND) RADIUS IP pools: Adding second MAX</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Del <list@cyberback.com></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg09670.html">Re: (ASCEND) connection problems with MAX 4048</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg09669.html">(ASCEND) Pipe 50 w/ 1 Static</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg09730.html">Re: (ASCEND) RADIUS IP pools: Adding second MAX</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg09681.html">Re: (ASCEND) RADIUS IP pools: Adding second MAX</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="mail15.html#09667"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd203.html#09667"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
