Re: [Help-gnu-radius] NAS

[Oliver Dagher]

thanx Charles,

what i wanted to know was that, in all manuals and the RFCs we talk about the 
NAS and from what i read it is essential to use NAS as a link between the 
client and the server, can radius run without it? and still work on the 
authentication and accounting?

thanks,
Oliver

  A NAS or "Network Access Server" would generally be another piece of
  hardware that provides access to your network.  Most commonly, this would
  be a dialin box like an Ascend Max/TNT, 3Com TotalAccess, etc.  Other
  access equipment that uses radius includes Wireless Access Points, VPN
  servers, and DSL aggregation boxes.  There are many other things that
  might be called a NAS, but I think those are the most common devices.

  Thanks,

  Charles
