Controlling Client Parameters via RADIUS

When using RADIUS as an authentication source for a VPN, pfSense® software supports receiving some client configuration parameters from the RADIUS server as reply attributes. The following values may be specified:

Cisco-AVPair inacl=

Inbound firewall rules to govern traffic from the client to the server. Given in Cisco-style ACL format (e.g. permit tcp any any) subnet masks are specified wildcard style.

Cisco-AVPair outacl=

Outbound firewall rules to govern traffic from the server to the client. Formatted the same as the inacl parameter.

Cisco-AVPair dns-servers=

DNS servers to push to the client. Multiple servers may be specified, separated by spaces.

Cisco-AVPair route=

Additional route statements to push to the client. Specified as x.x.x.x y.y.y.y where the first parameter is a network address and the second is a subnet mask.

Framed-IP-Address=

The IP address to assign to the client. When using a subnet style Topology the RADIUS server must also send back a Framed-Mask set appropriately for the Tunnel Network of the VPN. When using a net30 style Topology, the client receives this IP address and the server side is set as one IP address lower than the address given to the client.
