+== Enabling the DHCP service
+
+A major difference between configuring FreeRADIUS as a DHCP server versus most
+other DHCP software such as ISC DHCP is that other software typically uses a
+single monolithic configuration file whereas FreeRADIUS has a collection of
+configuration files. This reflects the modularity of FreeRADIUS; attempting to
+put the entire configuration in a single file would result in a very difficult
+to read configuration.
+
+The root of the FreeRADIUS configuration may be in a different location on the
+filesystem depending on how FreeRADIUS has been installed. This directory will
+be referred to as `<raddb>` below. The sample configuration files are well
+commented describing what each configuration option does.
+
+FreeRADIUS compiled from source will default to `/usr/local/etc/raddb`.
+Pre-built packages will default to either `/etc/raddb` or
+`/etc/freeradius`.
+
+
+=== Enable the DHCP virtual server
+
+The FreeRADIUS configuration separates each network service that it provides
+into "virtual servers". A number of sample virtual server definitions are
+provided in `<raddb>/sites-available`, one of which is the sample
+configuration for a DHCP service.
+
+Sites may be added to the working configuration by either creating a symlink to
+them or copying them to `<conf>/sites-enabled` depending on how you wish to
+manage future upgrades.
+
+[TIP]
+====
+As with other package-managed configuration files, package upgrades will not
+automatically replace files that you have edited but you will need to resolve
+any local differences. Creating copies avoids the need to resolve conflicts
+during a package upgrade.
+====
+
+Add the DHCP virtual server to the active configuration:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+cd <raddb>/sites-enabled
+ln -s ../sites-available/dhcp .
+----
+
+or:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+cd <raddb>/sites-enabled
+cp ../sites-available/dhcp .
+----
+
+The sample configuration has been set up in such a way that it is initially
+safe. It will not actually take over live DHCP serving on the network when it
+is simply enabled until it is configured to do so. Rather is set up for testing
+prior to going live.
+
+The virtual server begins with a `listen` section. In this section your need to
+modify the following configuration items:
+
+`ipaddr`:: The IP address to listen on.
+`src_ipaddr`:: The source IP for unicast packets.
+`port`:: The port to listen on. Setting this to `67` will make the DHCP service live on the network.
+`interface`:: The network interface to listen on.
+`broadcast`:: Allow broadcast packets. For most live systems this will need to be set to `yes`.
+
+Below the `listen` section, there are sections that define how to respond to
+each of the DHCP packet types. Most installations will require that you review
+the settings for `DHCP-Discover` and `DHCP-Request`.
+
+Their contents contain directives in the FreeRADIUS policy language, "unlang".
+Many examples are provided which have been carefully described.
+
+
+=== Enable SQL and IP pool modules
+
+FreeRADIUS has many modules to support different aspects of the functionality
+required for the network protocols it can process. The two of most significance
+for DHCP are `dhcp_sql` and `dhcp_sqlippool`. As with virtual servers, a
+number of example module configurations are available in
+`<raddb>/mods-available`.
+These should be symlinked or copied into `<raddb>/mods-enabled` in order to
+enable them.
+
+
+==== Configure the `dhcp_sql` module
+
+Add the `dhcp_sql` module to the active configuration:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+cd <raddb>/mods-enabled
+ln -s ../mods-available/dhcp_sql .
+----
+
+or:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+cd <raddb>/mods-enabled
+cp ../mods-available/dhcp_sql .
+----
+
+The `dhcp_sql` module should be configured with the connection parameters for
+whichever database is to be used. The key configuration items are:
+
+`dialect`:: Which SQL dialect is in use.
+`driver`:: Which driver to use to access the database. For most databases this
+ is `rlm_sql_<dialect>`, however Microsoft SQL Server has a choice of
+ drivers.
+
+Then, there are configuration options that are unique to each database,
+including connection details. For most databases these are:
+
+`server`:: The host name or IP address of the database server.
+`port`:: The port to connect to the database server on.
+`login`:: The user name used to connect to the database.
+`password`:: The password for authenticating to the database.
+`radius_db`:: The name of the database.
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+SQLite does not use these connection options, rather the `filename`
+option within the `sqlite` section is used to determine where the database
+will be stored.
+====
+
+
+==== Configure the `dhcp_sqlippool` module
+
+Add the `dhcp_sqlippool` module to the active configuration:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+cd <raddb>/mods-enabled
+ln -s ../mods-available/dhcp_sqlippool .
+----
+
+or
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+cd <raddb>/mods-enabled
+cp ../mods-available/dhcp_sqlippool .
+----
+
+The `dhcp_sqlippool` module must be configured. The key configuration
+items are:
+
+`dialect`:: Set this to the same SQL dialect as in the `sql` module.
+`offer_duration`:: How long an IP is offered to the client in a DHCP OFFER.
+`lease_duration`:: How long an IP is leased to the client in a DHCP ACK.
+
+
+=== Provision the database
+
+You should provision your database by creating a user for FreeRADIUS (matching
+the configuration that you have previously provided) and then loading the
+schema. The procedure for doing this will vary according to the database
+server.
+
+The schema, stored procedure definition and any additional setup scripts for
+your database are in `<raddb>/mods-config/sql/ippool-dhcp/{dialect}/`.
+
+=== Test FreeRADIUS startup
+
+Once you have provisioned your schema, created a user account and granted
+access to the user, you should be able to start FreeRADIUS.
+
+If FreeRADIUS has been configured correctly then the output of `ss` will
+contain a line showing that FreeRADIUS is listening for DHCP packets on the
+designated interface on port 67:
+
+.Example of FreeRADIUS listening on `<interface>` for DHCP packets
+==================================================================
+ # ss -lunp
+ Netid Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port ...
+ udp 0 0 0.0.0.0%<interface>:67 ... users:(("radiusd",...))
+==================================================================
+
+Note that if the database is inaccessible then FreeRADIUS will normally refuse
+to start.
+
+The FreeRADIUS wiki contains extensive information about debugging FreeRADIUS
+startup issues that we do not repeat in any detail here.
+
+Essentially, stop your init system from repeatedly trying to launch FreeRADIUS:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+service radiusd stop
+----
+
+Then start FreeRADIUS manually in debug mode:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+radiusd -X
+----
+
+Carefully read the output since this will tell you why FreeRADIUS was unable to
+start.
+
+Once you have fixed the issue start FreeRADIUS as normal:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+service radiusd start
+----
+
+Now xref:protocols/dhcp/test.adoc[test the DHCP service] to ensure that it is responding to requests.

+= FreeRADIUS DHCP server
+
+This guide describes how FreeRADIUS can be used in place of ISC DHCP or ISC Kea
+to provide a significantly more performant and, above all, more flexible DHCP
+server.
+
+This guide provides a suggested configuration that should be somewhat familiar
+to anyone who has previously implemented DHCP using the most frequently used
+features of other DHCP server software.
+
+The modular design of FreeRADIUS means that there is no one "right" way to
+implement the DHCP service. FreeRADIUS allows you to put together a "mix and
+match" approach.
+
+For example you can manage the leases in an SQL database. You might then hard
+code certain DHCP reply parameters within configuration and then look up
+additional parameters using a datastore such as:
+
+ * a local file such as a structured text file or an SQLite database
+ * an organisational LDAP directory
+ * an SQL or "no SQL" database
+ * a remote endpoint such as a RESTful HTTP API
+
+The policy language and modular configuration of FreeRADIUS is sufficiently
+powerful and that almost any aspect of the server's behaviour can be customised
+to implement even the most sophisticated DHCP configurations.
+

+== Configure common reply options
+
+FreeRADIUS includes a powerful xref:unlang/index.adoc[policy language] called
+"unlang".
+
+Statements in unlang may be used to call further policies, update attribute
+lists and invoke modules. There are also control flow statements (if,
+switch, etc.) typical of most imperative languages.
+
+FreeRADIUS has a number attribute lists that it maintains as it processes
+packets within the virtual server sections. Most relevant to DHCP are
+`request`, `control` and `reply`.
+
+The DHCP options from the current request packet are provided in the
+`request` list. This includes fixed DHCP parameters such as
+`DHCP-Client-Hardware-Address`, optional parameters such as
+`DHCP-Requested-IP-Address`, and parameters synthesised by FreeRADIUS such as
+`DHCP-Message-Type` and `DHCP-Network-Subnet`.
+
+DHCP options can be set by updating their value in the `reply` list. This
+forms the basis of the packet returned to the client.
+
+In the default DHCP server configuration, a "policy" (akin to a subroutine) is
+used to set common options for reply packets. The policy is found in
+`<raddb>/policy.d/dhcp`.
+
+Look at the contents of the `dhcp_common` section and set any global options
+applicable to all clients in this policy.
+
+[source,unlang]
+----
+dhcp_common {
+ update reply {
+ &DHCP-Domain-Name-Server := 8.8.8.8
+ &DHCP-Domain-Name-Server += 8.8.4.4
+ &DHCP-Subnet-Mask := 255.255.255.0
+ &DHCP-Router-Address := 192.0.2.1
+ ...
+ }
+}
+----
+
+Note, FreeRADIUS has four main operators for assigning values to attributes:
+
+`=`:: Add the attribute to the list, if and only if an attribute of the same
+ name is not already present in that list.
+`:=`:: Add the attribute to the list. If any attribute of the same name is
+ already present in that list it is replaced with the new one.
+`+=`:: Add the attribute to the tail of the list, even if attributes of the
+ same name are already present in the list.
+`^=`:: Add the attribute to the head of the list, even if attributes of the
+ same name are already present in the list.
+
+These operators allow for attributes to be set to default values and then
+overwritten, e.g. setting a default lease time, but then overwriting it for
+a particular group of clients.
+
+Attributes in the `control` list are not returned in the DHCP reply packets
+but instead govern aspects of server's behaviour.
+
+To use an SQL backend for either static or dynamic IP allocation, un-comment
+the block:
+
+[source,unlang]
+----
+update control {
+ &Pool-Name := "local"
+}
+dhcp_sqlippool
+----
+
+The `Pool-Name` control attribute is used in looking up addresses in the
+database. The line containing `dhcp_sqlippool` is a call to invoke an
+instance of a module with that name. This module is responsible for assigning a
+free IP address into the `DHCP-Your-IP-Address` reply attribute from the pool
+identified by `Pool-Name`.
+
+Here `Pool-Name` is being set to a constant value (`local`) indicating
+that a single pool is to be used. If you have multiple pools, then replace this
+`update` block with logic to map clients to the correct pool, as described below.

+== Configure "device", "class" and "group" options
+
+Beyond the global, network and subnet options already described, most sites
+will have a number of group or class based options, and have a requirement for
+setting reply parameters against individual devices.
+
+In general, FreeRADIUS does not differentiate between "classes" (memberships
+defined by some attribute of the DHCP request) and "groups" (memberships
+defined by some manually aggregation related devices, typically based on lists
+of MAC address).
+
+The sample DHCP configuration provided with FreeRADIUS makes use of an internal
+attribute `DHCP-Group-Name` to support the setting of different options for
+different groups of devices.
+
+In general the groups to which a device belongs is determined during the
+processing of a request and these are added as instances of the
+`DHCP-Group-Name` attribute. This may be by performing a test on one or more
+request parameters (akin to a "class"), hash-based lookup of up all of part of
+an attribute in a local list (akin to a "subclass"), or doing the same using a
+remote datastore (SQL, LDAP, REST API, etc).
+
+FreeRADIUS can then iterate over `DHCP-Group-Name` to set group-specific
+options.
+
+We describe some of these options in more detail.
+
+=== Directly in Policy
+
+Simple class options can be written directly into policy. This is most
+suited to those options that rarely change and are based on attributes in the
+request such as the `User-Class`.
+
+Consider the ISC DHCP configuration snippet:
+
+[source,iscdhcp]
+----
+filename "undionly.kpxe";
+class "pxeclient" {
+ match option substring(user-class,0,4);
+}
+subclass "pxeclient" "iPXE" {
+ filename "http://my.web.server/boot_script.php";
+}
+----
+
+Or the equivalent Kea configuration:
+
+[source,isckea]
+----
+"Dhcp4": {
+ "option-data": [
+ { "name": "boot-file-name", "data": "undionly.kpxe" }
+ ],
+ "client-classes": [
+ {
+ "name": "pxeclient",
+ "test": "substring(option[77],0,4) == 'iPXE'",
+ "option-data": [
+ {
+ "name": "boot-file-name",
+ "data": "http://my.web.server/boot_script.php"
+ }
+ ]
+ }
+ ]
+ ...
+}
+----
+
+These define the "filename" DHCP option differently based on whether or not the
+supplied "user-class" option begins with "iPXE".
+
+FreeRADIUS provides multiple ways for this to be configured.
+
+For example, the following "unlang" policy implements the class options defined
+above:
+
+[source,unlang]
+----
+if (&DHCP-User-Class && "%{substring:&DHCP-User-Class 0 4}" == "iPXE") {
+ update reply {
+ &DHCP-Boot-Filename := "http://my.web.server/boot_script.php"
+ }
+} else {
+ update reply {
+ &DHCP-Boot-Filename := "undionly.kpxe"
+ }
+}
+----
+
+Policy-based configuration of DHCP options is also useful for complex matching.
+For example, the following Unlang sets the DHCP-Boot-Filename parameter based
+on the request's DHCP-Client-Identifier using regular expression captures,
+provided that it matches the given format:
+
+[source,unlang]
+----
+if (&DHCP-Client-Identifier && \
+ "%{string:DHCP-Client-Identifier}" =~ /^RAS([0-9])-site([A-Z])$/) {
+ update reply {
+ &DHCP-Boot-Filename := "rasboot-%{1}-%{2}.kpxe"
+ }
+}
+----
+
+=== In Text Files
+
+The `files` module that has already been described for global, network and
+subnet options can also be used to apply options to groups of clients.
+
+Firstly we must defined a mapping from a set of clients clients to their
+respective groups. One option for this is to use the `passwd` module, for
+which a sample configuration is included.
+
+Firstly symlink or copy the module configuration
+`<raddb>/mods-available/dhcp_passwd` into `<raddb>/mods-enabled/`. The
+suggested configuration expects the group membership file to be in
+`<raddb>/mods-config/files/dhcp_groups` and take the form of:
+
+[source,config]
+----
+<group1 name>|<hardware address>,<hardware address>,<hardware address>
+<group2 name>|<hardware address>,<hardware address>
+----
+
+i.e. one line for each group starting with the group name followed by a pipe
+character and then a comma-separated list of hardware addresses.
+
+The `allow_multiple_keys` option allows for a host to be a member of
+more than one group.
+
+Sample configuration for looking up group options is contained in
+`<raddb>/policy.d/dhcp` in the `dhcp_group_options` policy and in
+`<raddb>/mods-available/dhcp_files` as the `dhcp_set_group_options` instance.
+
+The same data file `<raddb>/mods-config/files/dhcp` is used to lookup
+group options as was used for global and network options. In this instance,
+add entries with the group name as the key such as:
+
+[source,config]
+----
+group1
+ DHCP-Log-Server := 10.10.0.100,
+ DHCP-LPR-Server := 10.10.0.200
+
+group2
+ DHCP-LPR-Server := 192.168.20.200
+----
+
+=== In the SQL Database
+
+Policy and files are both read during startup and editing them while
+FreeRADIUS is running will not result in any changes in behaviour. If
+you require regular changes to DHCP options, then storing them in
+an SQL database provides greater flexibility since the queries will be run in
+response to each DHCP packet rather than requiring the server to be restarted.
+
+DHCP reply options for devices (including network-specific options) can be
+fetched from SQL using an arbitrary lookup key. This can be performed multiple
+times as necessary using different contexts, for example to first set
+subnet-specific options and then to set group-specific options.
+
+The default schema contains three tables to support this:
+
+"dhcpreply" contains reply options for a given identifier (e.g. MAC Address):
+
+.dhcpreply table
+|===
+|Identifier |Attribute |Op |Value |Context
+

+|`salesdept` |`DHCP-LPR-Server` |`^=` |`192.0.2.22` |`by-mac`
+|===
+
+Within the context of assigning options directly to devices, as well as to
+manually-curated groups of devices keyed by their MAC address:
+
+ - Place device-specific options in the "dhcpreply" table.
+ - Add `Fall-Through := Yes` to the options in the "dhcpreply" table in order
+ to trigger group lookups, which are disabled by default.
+ - Place entries in the "dhcpgroup" `identifier = <MAC-Address>, groupname = <group>, priority =
+ <priority>` in the "dhcpgroup" table to map a device to its groups by
+ priority.
+ - Place the grouped options in the "dhcpgroupreply" table.
+ - For each of the above, set `Context` to something by which the option
+ lookup is referred to in the policy, for example `Context = 'by-mac'`.
+
+For the above example you would add the following to the DHCP virtual server to
+perform reply option lookup using the device's MAC address against the `by-mac`
+context:
+
+[source,unlang]
+----
+update control {
+ &DHCP-SQL-Option-Context := "by-mac"
+ &DHCP-SQL-Option-Identifier := &request:DHCP-Client-Hardware-Address
+}
+dhcp_sql.authorize
+----
+
+In the above, the DHCP reply options would be assigned to a device with MAC
+address 02:01:aa:bb:cc:dd as follows:
+
+ - Firstly, the `DHCP-Log-Server` option would be set to `192.0.2.10` and the
+ `DHCP-LPR-Server` option set to `192.0.2.11`.
+ - `Fall-Through` is set, so the group mapping is then queried which
+ determines that the device belongs to a single `salesdept` group.
+ - Finally, the options for the `salesdept` group are now merged, setting a
+ `DHCP-NTP-Servers` option to `192.0.2.20`, appending an additional
+ `DHCP-Log-Server` option set to `192.0.2.21`, and prepending an additional
+ `DHCP-LPR-Server` option set to `192.0.2.22`.
+
+If instead you wanted to perform a "subclass" lookup based on the first three
+octets of the device's MAC address then with tables containing the following
+sample data you could invoke an SQL lookup as shown:
+
+."dhcpreply" table:
+|===
+|Identifier |Attribute |Op |Value |Context
+
+|`000393` |`Fall-Through` |`:=` |`Yes` |`class-vendor`
+|`000a27` |`Fall-Through` |`:=` |`Yes` |`class-vendor`
+|`f40304` |`Fall-Through` |`:=` |`Yes` |`class-vendor`
+|===
+
+."dhcpgroup" table:
+|===
+|Identifier |GroupName |Priority |Context
+
+|`000393` |`apple` |`10` |`class-vendor`
+|`000a27` |`apple` |`10` |`class-vendor`
+|`f40304` |`google` |`10` |`class-vendor`
+|===
+
+."dhcpgroupreply" table:
+|===
+|GroupName |Attribute |Op |Value |Context
+
+|`apple` |`DHCP-Boot-Filename` |`:=` |`apple.efi` |`class-vendor`
+|`google` |`DHCP-Boot-Filename` |`:=` |`google.efi` |`class-vendor`
+|===
+
+
+[source,unlang]
+----
+update control {
+ &DHCP-SQL-Option-Context := "class-vendor"
+ &DHCP-SQL-Option-Identifier := \
+ "%{substring:%{hex:&DHCP-Client-Hardware-Address} 0 6}"
+}
+dhcp_sql.authorize
+----
+
+The file `policy.d/dhcp` contains a policy named `dhcp_policy_sql` which
+provides further worked examples for different types of option lookups.
+
+=== Testing "device", "class" and "group" options
+
+You should now test that any device-related options that you have configured
+using the various methods available are applied successfully by generating
+packets containing those parameters based upon which the reply options are set.

+whose access is restricted in some way, for example to a particular class.

+subnet 10.99.99.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
+ pool {

+ ],
+ "option-data": [
+ { "name": "routers", "data": "10.10.0.1" }
+ ]
+ }],
+ ...
+}
+----
+
+These define a subnet containing a single pool that is restricted to members of
+the "printers" class. (The definition for this class is omitted.)
+
+In FreeRADIUS, to filter access to this pool entries such as the following
+should included in the `<raddb>/mods-config/files/dhcp` configuration file:

+ DHCP-Group-Name == "printers", Pool-Name := "printers-pool"
+ DHCP-Router-Address := 10.99.99.1
+----
+
+Note that any number of additional filters can be added to the initial "check"
+line to restrict matches to the network block.

+=== Determine the IP pool plan
+
+Except for cases where all IP allocation is performed using a mapping from the
+device MAC address to a fixed IP address, the DHCP configuration will involve
+the use of one or more IP address pools.
+
+FreeRADIUS stores all the IP addresses in its pools in whichever database has
+been chosen. An instance of the `sqlippools` module is used to manage all pools
+within a single table (normally `dhcpippool`). Each row of this table
+corresponds to an IP address that is a member of some pool. The pools are
+distinguished by name, so the table has a column (`pool_name`) that denotes
+this.
+
+Each pool in this table should be composed of a set of equally valid IP
+addresses for the devices that are designated to be members of the pool.
+
+Firstly, consider the network locations to which distinct ranges of IP
+addresses must be allocated and provisionally assign a pool to each.
+
+Next, consider that many networks support multiple co-existing subnets without
+VLAN separation. We will call this a "shared-network" to use the original ISC
+DHCP parlance. In Microsoft DHCP contexts this is often referred to as a
+"multinet".
+
+Often in a shared-network the policy has no regard for which of the network's
+devices is allocated to which subnet. In this case we must create a single,
+combined pool containing all of the IP addresses from each subnet in that
+network. Since all addresses in a pool are treated equally this will mean that
+any IP address may be allocated to a device that is making a DHCP request from
+that network. The appropriate DHCP parameters for the subnet to which the IP
+address belongs is determined after allocation.
+
+There are sometimes shared-networks (or even single subnets) for which IP
+addresses belonging to any subnet may be technically suitable for any device,
+however some local policy wants to assigning them to a particular subnet, for
+example to provide loose segregation between classes of device. In this case we
+define multiple pools, one for each range of IP addresses whose devices needs to
+be differentiated.
+
+The choice of pool is ordinarily determined based on the network from which the
+request originates using a mapping from Layer 2 networks to the pool name
+provided by the user. The indicator for the originating network can be
+overridden when this alone is insufficient to implement the required pool
+selection policy such as when you need to differentiate the pool's users with
+more granularity that their Layer 2 network, such as by considering device
+attributes ("class" membership in ISC parlance) or Option 82 circuit data.
+
+
+=== Populate the IP Pools
+
+By this stage you should have derived a list of pools, the IP address ranges
+contained therein, and the means of selecting the pool to use based on the
+originating network and/or some additional criteria from the request.
+
+A helper Perl script is provided with FreeRADIUS that can be used to populate
+the pools provide that you are using the default schema.
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+rlm_sqlippool_tool -p <pool_name> -s <range_start> -e <range_end> \
+ -t <table_name> (-d <sql_dialect> | -f <raddb_dir> [ -i <instance> ]) \
+ [ -c <capacity> ] [ -x <existing_ips_file> ]
+----
+
+If, for example, you had a range configured in ISC DHCP as:
+
+[source,iscdhcp]
+----
+range 10.0.0.5 10.0.0.199
+----
+
+and you are using PostgreSQL as your database, and you wish to refer to this pool
+using the name `local`, this could be prepared with:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+rlm_sqlippool_tool -p local -s 10.0.0.5 -e 10.0.0.199 -t dhcpippool -d postgresql
+----
+
+If the SQL module of FreeRADIUS is already configured then this can
+be referenced so that the tool is able to use the configured connection
+parameters to connect to the database and populate the pool:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+rlm_sqlippool_tool -p local -s 10.0.0.5 -e 10.0.0.199 -t dhcpippool -f /etc/raddb
+----
+
+For installations that require multiple pools, `rlm_sqlippool_tool` can
+be called referencing a YAML file defining the pools. Comments at the
+head of `rlm_sqlippool_tool` explain the options in more detail.
+
+If static leases are required then these should be set up in the database
+such that the MAC address of the client should be set as the `pool_key`
+against the corresponding address and the `status` column of the row
+representing the address set to `static`. A helper perl script,
+`rlm_iscfixed2ippool` can be used to read an ISC DHCP config file and produce
+SQL to perform these changes or directly update the database:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+rlm_iscfixed2ippool -c <dhcpd.<raddb> -t <table_name> -k <mac|id> \
+ (-d <sql_dialect> | -f <raddb_dir> [-i <instance>])
+----
+
+For example, to read /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf and populate the configured
+FreeRADIUS database, using the mac as the identifier:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+rlm_iscfixed2ippool -c /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf -t dhcpippool -k mac -f /usr/local/etc/raddb

+ }],

+}
+----
+
+These define a network consisting of a single subnet 10.10.0.0/16 containing two
+IP address pools 10.10.1.10 - 10.10.10.254 and 10.10.100.10 - 10.10.110.254.
+Requests that are determined to have originated from this network (e.g. because
+their `giaddr` belongs within the subnet) will be assigned the specified DHCP
+parameters and allocated an address from one of its ranges.
+
+To provide equivalent functionality, FreeRADIUS must identify the correct DHCP
+reply parameters as well as the name of the pool to be used for IP address
+assignment, based on the originating network of the request.
+
+The definition for this pool (the addresses contained within it, corresponding
+to the `range` statement in ISC DHCP and Kea) is specified entirely in the
+database: It is precisely the rows in the `dhcpippool` table with a particular
+`pool_name`.
+
+[TIP]
+====
+As described previously, in FreeRADIUS a pool is a set of IP addresses that are
+equally valid with respect to the network policy; therefore, unlike ISC DHCP
+and ISC Kea, FreeRADIUS does not differentiate between the two `range`s.
+Instead we should have previously populated a single pool containing all of the
+IP addresses from both ranges.
+====
+
+FreeRADIUS derives a request attribute called `DHCP-Network-Subnet` which
+honours the standard DHCP process for designating the choice of network, in
+order of preference:
+
+ 1. Link Selection Suboption of Option 82
+ 2. IPv4 Subnet Selection Option
+ 3. Gateway IP Address ("giaddr")
+ 4. Client IP Address ("ciaddr", only set for unicast packets)
+
+If `DHCP-Network-Subnet` contains an IP address then this should be used as
+the basis of choosing a network. When there is no address in this attribute it
+can be assumed that the packet has been received from a client on the local
+LAN.
+
+The `files` module in FreeRADIUS provides a simple method to map
+`DHCP-Network-Subnet` to the corresponding pool based on its network
+membership, setting the appropriate options to return to clients. It can also
+set the global options.
+
+[TIP]
+====
+In the case where an instance of the `files` module is used to get global
+default parameters, the `dhcp_common` policy becomes redundant so the
+statement calling the policy (by name) can be commented out in
+`<raddb>/sites-enabled/dhcp`.
+====
+
+To use the provided example `files` module instance for DHCP, symlink or copy
+`<raddb>/mods-available/dhcp_files` into `<raddb>/mods-enabled/` and then
+uncomment the calls to `dhcp_network` in `<raddb>/sites-enabled/dhcp`.
+
+A template configuration file `<raddb>/mods-config/files/dhcp` is also
+provided which should be adapted to suit your network topology.
+
+For the configuration above you may deduce the following configuration, which
+has been extended to include an initial default section for requests originating
+from directly-connected clients on the local LAN (192.168.20/24):
+
+[source,config]
+----
+network Pool-Name := "local"
+ DHCP-Domain-Name := "example.org",
+ DHCP-Subnet-Mask := 255.255.255.0,
+ DHCP-Router-Address := 192.168.20.1,
+ DHCP-Domain-Name-Server := 192.168.20.2,
+ Fall-Through := yes
+
+network DHCP-Network-Subnet < 10.10.0.0/16, Pool-Name := "remote"
+ DHCP-Subnet-Mask := 255.0.0.0,
+ DHCP-Router-Address := 10.10.0.1,
+ DHCP-Domain-Name-Server := 10.10.0.2,
+ DHCP-Domain-Name-Server += 10.10.0.3,
+ DHCP-IP-Address-Lease-Time := 7200
+----
+
+Each block in the file starts with a line beginning with the key to be matched.
+In this case the keyword of `network` (defined earlier in `dhcp_networks`
+configuration) is used for each block, so each of the above blocks is a
+candidate during the search.
+
+There may be further filtering of the candidates in the form of `<Attribute>
+<op> <Value>`. In the case of the second block we match the
+`DHCP-Network-Subnet` to an enclosing subnet with
+`DHCP-Network-Subnet < <subnet>`. Additional filters could be added as
+required, comma separated.
+
+Following the filters on the first line, attributes in the `control` list can
+be set using the syntax of `<Attribute> := <Value>`. In this example this is
+used to specify the `Pool-Name` for choosing the appropriate IP pool to
+allocate an address from.
+
+Subsequent indented lines are attribute assignments for values in the `reply`
+list. Note that, apart from the last line, they are all terminated with a
+comma.
+
+The special option `Fall-Through` determines whether, following a match,
+other records are checked for a match. All lookups will match the entry
+with a key of `network` and no further filtering, so `Fall-Through`
+is set on that record in order that the other records will be tested
+to find subnet matches.
+
+=== Example packet processing
+
+For our example, we consider a request arriving from a DHCP relay within
+10.10.0.0/16. In the absence of any specific DHCP subnet selection options in
+the request, the `DHCP-Network-Subnet` attribute is calculated to be the
+relay's IP address, say 10.10.0.1.
+
+The request is matched against the first block, setting an initial pool name to
+"local", domain name to "example.org" and setting some additional global
+default parameters. By virtue of `Fall-Through` being set, the next block is
+considered.
+
+Since the network identifier is within the specified subnet (i.e. `10.10.0.1 <
+10.10.0.0/16`) this second block is matched. This block overrides the pool name
+setting it to "remote", overrides some other global defaults and sets the lease
+time to 7200 seconds. `Fall-Through` is not set, so we are now done with
+deriving the pool name and network options.
+
+When the `dhcp_sqlippool` module is called during DHCP DISCOVER processing (in
+`<raddb>/sites-enabled/dhcp`) the `remote` pool will be used for IP address
+allocation.
+
+The assigned IP address and network parameters will subsequently be returned in
+the DHCP reply.
+
+=== Testing the pool operation and network-specific options
+
+Before proceeding further, you should test the operation of the IP pools and
+ensure that any network-specific reply attributes that you have configured are
+correctly set in replies.
+
+For example, if you have a single, flat pool you should test using sample
+packets for devices with different MAC addresses and/or Client Identifiers.
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+cat <<EOF > dhcp-packet-1.txt
+DHCP-Message-Type := DHCP-Discover
+DHCP-Client-Hardware-Address := 02:01:11:11:11:11
+DHCP-Client-Identifier := device1
+EOF
+----
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+cat <<EOF > dhcp-packet-2.txt
+DHCP-Message-Type := DHCP-Discover
+DHCP-Client-Hardware-Address := 02:01:22:22:22:22
+DHCP-Client-Identifier := device2
+EOF
+----
+
+Generate these packets as show previously using the dhcpclient tool and look
+for `DHCP-Your-IP-Address` in the DHCP responses to determine the IP address
+that has been offered.
+
+Ensure that the DHCP Offer responses contain unique IP addresses. Ensure that
+when these requests are resent within the lifetime of the initial offer that
+the reponses to the subsequent replies contain the original IP address that was
+in the initial offer to the device.
+
+Additionally, ensure that the DHCP Offers contain any network-specific
+parameters that you have specified.
+
+In the case that the policy contains multiple IP pools and network definitions
+for clients belonging to different Layer 2 networks (or indeed belonging to the
+same network but segregated according to some local policy) you should ensure
+that the devices are being mapped to the correct definition.
+
+For a typical policy that selects the IP pool and network options based on the
+originating network for the DHCP packet, explicitly specifying a network by
+including a `DHCP-Subnet-Selection-Option` parameter may avoid the need to test
+from a host within each individual network:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+cat <<EOF > dhcp-packet-network-10.10.10.0.txt
+DHCP-Message-Type := DHCP-Discover
+DHCP-Client-Hardware-Address := 02:01:aa:bb:cc:dd
+DHCP-Client-Identifier := abc123
+DHCP-Subnet-Selection-Option := 10.10.10.0
+EOF
+----
+
+For policies where the IP pool and network option selection is based on some
+custom criteria it is necessary to include different variations for the
+parameters on which the policy makes the decision. The testing example for the
+class-specific options later in this document provides such an example.

+
+As with the network to pool lookup, an instance of the `files` modules can be
+employed (this time after the allocation of an IP address) to set the correct
+reply parameters based on the subnet membership of the assigned address.
+
+To do this, we can use this section of `<raddb>/mods-available/dhcp_files`:
+
+[source,config]
+----
+files dhcp_subnets {
+ filename = ${modconfdir}/files/dhcp
+ key = "subnet"
+}
+----
+
+Additionally, uncomment the `dhcp_subnets` policy in `<raddb>/policy.d/dhcp`.
+This policy wraps the call to the `dhcp_subnets` files module with code that
+"tightens" the `DHCP-Network-Subnet` attribute by setting it to the
+just-allocated IP address.
+
+The relevant entries in the `<raddb>/mods-config/files/dhcp` configuration
+file might then look something like this:
+
+[source,config]
+----
+network
+ DHCP-Domain-Name := "example.org",
+ Fall-Through := yes
+
+network DHCP-Network-Subnet < 10.30.0.0/16, Pool-Name := "bigdept"
+ DHCP-Domain-Name-Server := 10.10.0.2,
+ DHCP-Domain-Name-Server += 10.10.0.3,
+ DHCP-IP-Address-Lease-Time := 7200
+
+subnet DHCP-Network-Subnet < 10.30.10.0/24
+ DHCP-Router-Address := 10.30.10.1
+
+subnet DHCP-Network-Subnet < 10.30.20.0/24
+ DHCP-Router-Address := 10.30.20.1
+----
+
+=== Example packet processing
+
+For our example, we consider a request arriving from a DHCP relay within
+10.30.10.0/24. In the absence of any specific DHCP subnet selection options in
+the request, the `DHCP-Network-Subnet` attribute is calculated to be the
+relay's IP address, say 10.30.10.1.
+
+The request is matched against the first "network" block, setting the domain
+name to "example.org". By virtue of `Fall-Through` being set, the next "network"
+block is considered.
+
+Since the network identifier is within the specified subnet (i.e. `10.30.10.1 <
+10.30.0.0/16`) this second "network" block is matched. This block sets the pool
+name to "bigdept", sets some network-specific DNS resolvers and sets the lease
+time to 7200 seconds. `Fall-Through` is not set, so we are now done with
+deriving the pool name and network options.
+
+When the `dhcp_sqlippool` module is called during DHCP DISCOVER processing (in
+`<raddb>/sites-enabled/dhcp`) the `bigdept` pool will be used for IP address
+allocation.
+
+After IP allocation the `dhcp_subnet` policy and files instance are called.
+Before the subnet options are looked up the `DHCP-Network-Subnet`
+attribute is tightened to match the assigned IP address, say 10.30.20.123.
+
+The request does not match the first subnet block since 10.30.20.123 is not
+within 10.30.10.0/24. However, the request does match the second subnet block
+since `10.30.20.123 < 10.30.20.0/24`. This block sets the default gateway
+reply parameter. `Fall-Through` is not set, so we are now done with deriving
+the pool name and network options.
+
+The assigned IP address, network and subnet parameters will subsequently be
+returned in the DHCP reply.
+
+=== Testing the subnet-specific options
+
+If you have set any subnet-specific reply parameters then you should test these
+before proceeding further.
+
+For example, in the case that you have a single, large pool spanning two IP
+subnets you might want to test by repeatedly allocating addresses using sample
+packets with different MAC addresses, each time checking to ensure that the
+DHCP parameters correspond to the IP address that has been offered.
+

+[TIP]
+====
+If the subnets are large then you might want to temporarily reduce their
+size by setting the `status` field of the majority of the rows for each subnet
+to "`disabled`" to cause offers to be made more readily with IP addresses in
+different subnets.

+== Preparation
+
+It is necessary to consider the requirements for the installation in order to
+devise an efficient and manageable set up.
+
+=== Understand the network topology
+
+When multiple networks (VLANs) are in use consideration must be given to how
+the correct "pool" (IP address ranges) from which to allocate addresses is
+identified.
+
+The policy for setting specific DHCP options (e.g. lease time, default gateway,
+time server and vendor-specific parameters) for different groups of hosts,
+based on their network or some device attributes either supplied in the DHCP
+requests or determined by dynamic lookup, should be well defined and
+understood.
+
+Other DHCP servers may implement implicit assumptions about the requirement of
+your network topology and silently define particular behaviours, such as the
+selection of IP address pool for a request based on a relay address. Some of
+these behaviours must be specifed explicitly when using FreeRADIUS.
+
+=== Choose a database backend
+
+FreeRADIUS stores its leases in an SQL database, so one of the key decisions to
+make is which database to use.
+
+FreeRADIUS supports:
+
+ * SQLite
+ * PostgreSQL
+ * MySQL / MariaDB
+ * Microsoft SQL Server
+ * Oracle
+
+In most configurations the SQL database is likely to be the limiting component
+that restricts the IP allocation throughput of the overall system. Each
+database server has its own performance characteristics and unique approach to
+features such as high-availability.
+
+The choice of database should be made carefully based on the performance and
+high-availability requirements of the system, as well as any prior experience.
+
+[TIP]
+====
+SQLite is an in-process database that uses the local file system, is simple to
+configure and is suitable for smaller installations. However, users with larger
+address pools or high availability requirements should choose one of the other
+standalone databases based on criteria such as performance, features,
+familiarity and your need for commercial support.
+====
+
+FreeRADIUS ships with a default database schema and set of queries for each
+supported database. These are sufficient for most DHCP deployments but can be
+reviewed and modified as required to suit a particular situation, for example
+to customise the IP allocation policy such as by disabling address
+"stickiness".
+
+Now xref:protocols/dhcp/enable.adoc[enable the DHCP service].

+== Testing the DHCP service
+
+We can verify that FreeRADIUS is providing a DHCP service using the
+`dhcpclient` tool that is included with the FreeRADIUS distribution.
+
+Temporarily configure FreeRADIUS to issue a single static IP address to all
+clients by updating the `dhcp DHCP-Discover` section in the `dhcp` virtual
+server to include the following:
+
+[source,unlang]
+----
+update reply {
+ &DHCP-Your-IP-Address := 1.2.3.4
+}
+----
+
+Define a sample DHCP packet as follows:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+cat <<EOF > dhcp-packet.txt
+DHCP-Message-Type := DHCP-Discover
+DHCP-Client-Hardware-Address := 02:01:aa:bb:cc:dd
+DHCP-Client-Identifier := abc123
+EOF
+----
+
+We can now generate this packet by invoking one of the following commands based
+on the current circumstances...
+
+From the host that is running the FreeRADIUS DHCP server:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+dhcpclient -i lo 255.255.255.255 -f dhcp-packet.txt -x auto
+----
+
+From a different host with an interface (eth0) in the same broadcast domain
+as the FreeRADIUS DHCP server:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+dhcpclient -i eth0 255.255.255.255 -f dhcp-packet.txt -x auto
+----
+
+If all of the DHCP broadcast traffic in other Layer 2 networks is converted to
+unicast by DHCP relay agents then it is not necessary for FreeRADIUS to listen
+on a broadcast address. In this case you can test DHCP using a unicast request:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+dhcpclient 192.0.2.10 -f dhcp-packet.txt -x auto
+----
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+In order for the returned, unicast DHCP OFFER to be received it is necessary to
+ensure that the `DHCP-Your-IP-Address` parameter set by FreeRADIUS matches an
+address on the interface used by the dhcpclient tool to send the Discover
+packet.
+====
+
+When one of the above commands is run, the tool with generate output such as
+the following which shows that the packet was sent and that it is now waiting
+for replies:
+
+.Example output from dhcpclient showing the request
+===================================================
+ dhcpclient: ...
+ ----------------------------------------------------------------------

+===================================================
+

+Each received DHCP response will generate output such as the following:
+
+.Example output from dhcpclient showing a response
+==================================================
+ ...
+ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ DHCP-Opcode = Server-Message
+ DHCP-Hardware-Type = Ethernet
+ DHCP-Hardware-Address-Length = 6

+ DHCP-Transaction-Id = 1577828267
+ DHCP-Number-of-Seconds = 0
+ DHCP-Flags = 0
+ DHCP-Client-IP-Address = 0.0.0.0
+ DHCP-Your-IP-Address = 1.2.3.4

+ DHCP-Gateway-IP-Address = 0.0.0.0
+ DHCP-Client-Hardware-Address = 02:42:0a:00:00:0b
+ DHCP-Message-Type = DHCP-Offer
+ DHCP-Client-Identifier = 0x616263313233
+ Waiting for additional DHCP replies for: 4.999429
+ ...
+==================================================
+
+Examine the DHCP response to ensure that it has the correct message type
+(`DHCP-Offer`, in this case), contains the temporary IP address that you
+configured earlier, i.e. `DHCP-Your-IP-Address = 1.2.3.4`, and any other
+expected reply parameters (which we configure later). You should also carefully
+examine the output of a FreeRADIUS debug session (`radius -X`) to ensure that
+the policy is being executed in the way that you expect and that no warnings
+are being generated.
+
+You can now change the content of the sample DHCP request by editing the
+`dhcp-packet.txt` file and re-run the above command to see the server's reply.
+You should examine the DHCP dictionary distrubuted with FreeRADIUS (usually
+`/usr/share/freeradius/dictionary.dhcp`) which provides the list of all of the
+DHCP parameters ("attributes") understood by FreeRADIUS.
+
+[WARNING]
+====
+When you are done **remember** to remove the temporary edit that was made to
+the `dhcp` virtual server that provides the static IP assignment.
+====
+
+=== Testing the DHCP policy
+
+The remainder of this guide describes how to configure the IP address plan,
+setup the IP pools and define a DHCP policy. You should develop your policy by
+making small, incremental changes to the provided configuration and then test
+those changes with the approach described above, using `dhcpclient` and `radius -X`,
+modifying the sample DHCP packet as required. If you break the policy then
+revert the last change, attempt to understand what went wrong, and try
+something else.

+Now xref:protocols/dhcp/policy.adoc[define the DHCP policy].

+== Enabling PROXY Protocol
+
+Now that we have a working configuration which used RadSec and HAproxy
+or Traefik, we are finally ready to enable PROXY Protocol.
+
+Configure FreeRADIUS on the `radsecsvr` host to expect the PROXY
+Protocol for RadSec connections. This is done by editing the `listen
+{}` section of the `tls` virtual server to include a reference to the
+proxy protocol:
+
+.Enabling PROXY Protocol in a FreeRADIUS virtual server
+=======================================================
+
+ listen {

+
+=======================================================
+
+Now restart the debugging session:
+[source,shell]
+----
+radiusd -fxxl /dev/stdout
+----
+
+
+For HAproxy, you should enable the PROXY Protocol on connections to
+the RadSec backend, by editing the `backend` definition to add a
+`send-proxy` argument:
+
+.Example HAproxy backend configuration with PROXY Protocol
+==========================================================
+
+ backend radsec_be

+ balance roundrobin
+ server radsecsvr 172.23.0.3:2083 send-proxy
+
+==========================================================
+
+Note the `send-proxy` argument in the `server` definition.
+
+Now reload the HAproxy service:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+service haproxy reload
+---
+
+
+For Traefik, enable the PROXY Protocol on connections to the RadSec
+backend by editing the `radsec-service` definition to add a reference
+to the proxy protocol"
+
+.Example Traefik service configuration with PROXY Protocol
+==========================================================
+
+ radsec-service:
+ loadBalancer:

+ version: 1
+
+==========================================================
+
+Note the `proxyProtocol` and `version: 1` directives.
+
+Traefik should automatically detect the updates and reconfigure the
+service.
+
+
+=== Testing RadSec connectivity via a proxy using PROXY Protocol
+
+Finally, with your test client configured to use the proxy, perform a
+test authentication:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+ echo "User-Name = bob" | radclient 127.0.0.1 auth testing123
+----
+
+You should expect to see the familiar output:

+.Example output from radclient
+==============================

+ Sent Access-Request Id 252 from 0.0.0.0:50118 to 127.0.0.1:1812 length 27
+ Received Access-Accept Id 252 from 127.0.0.1:1812 to 127.0.0.1:50118 length 39
+
+==============================
+
+Now examine the FreeRADIUS debug output on the RadSec server:
+
+.Expected output from `radiusd -X` with PROXY Protocol
+======================================================
+
+ ...

+== Enabling RadSec with FreeRADIUS
+
+Our first task is to set up a RadSec server by configuring an instance of
+FreeRADIUS to accept RADIUS over TLS requests.
+
+The following steps should be performed on the host which will be the
+RadSec server, we will call it `radsecsvr`.
+
+You can install FreeRADIUS using the NetworkRADIUS packages by
+following the instructions provided here:
+
+<https://networkradius.com/packages/>
+
+Before making any configuration changes, you should stop the radiusd
+service:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+ service radiusd stop
+----
+
+Then, enable the `tls` virtual server:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+cd /etc/raddb/sites-enabled
+ln -s ../sites-available/tls
+----
+
+The FreeRADIUS distribution contains an example Certificate Authority
+that will have generated the necessary CA, server and client
+certificates and keys during package installation. You can use this
+CA, or you can use your own CA and certificates.
+
+[TIP]
+====
+If the example certificates are not present (for example if FreeRADIUS was
+installed from source) then FreeRADIUS will fail to start. The files can be
+regenerated by running `make` in the `/etc/raddb/certs` directory.
+====
+
+Edit the `tls` virtual server configuration, in order to add
+definitions for the clients by extending the `clients radsec {}` section:
+
+.Example radsec client definitions in `/etc/raddb/sites-available/tls`
+====
+
+ clients radsec {
+ ...
+ # Direct connections from the test client
+ client radseccli {
+ ipaddr = 172.23.0.2
+ proto = tls
+ virtual_server = default
+ }
+ # Connections via HAproxy
+ client haproxy {
+ ipaddr = 172.23.0.4
+ proto = tls
+ virtual_server = default
+ }
+ # Connections via Traefik
+ client traefik {
+ ipaddr = 172.23.0.5
+ proto = tls
+ virtual_server = default
+ }
+ }
+
+====
+
+The client `ipaddr` configuration item is used to match the source IP
+address of incoming connections. You must add client definitions for
+each of the clients which will connect.
+
+For RadSec, you can just list the IP address of the RadSec client.
+This client definition is used for processing RADIUS packets from the
+RadSec client.
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+A `secret` does not have to be specified for RadSec clients, as the
+default is `radsec`. If you specify a secret, then that will be used
+instead of `radsec`.
+====
+
+When the PROXY protocol is used, you must _also_ define a client which
+matches the IP address of the proxy (haproxy, etc). This client is
+only used to check that the source IP is permitted to connect to the
+server. Fields other than `ipaddr` can be specified (and in some
+cases may be required). However, all other fields will be ignored.
+
+For testing purposes, we want to amend the `default` virtual server so
+that it accepts all authentication reqeusts and immediately responds
+to accounting requests.
+
+Edit the `/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default` file so that the beginning of
+the `authorize` and `preacct` sections looks as follows:
+
+.Example default virtual server modification to unconditionally accept Access-Requests
+====
+
+ authorize {
+ accept
+ ...
+ }
+ ...
+ preacct {
+ handled
+ ...
+ }
+
+====
+
+This change makes the `authorize` section always "accept" the user,
+and makes the `preacct` section always say "we handled the accounting
+request". These changes are only for testing, and should never be
+used in production.
+
+Start the FreeRADIUS service in the foreground with debugging enabled:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+radiusd -fxxl /dev/stdout
+----
+
+Examine the output from FreeRADIUS to ensure that it is now listening for
+RadSec connection on TCP/2083:
+
+.Example output from running `radiusd -fxxl /dev/stdout`
+====
+
+ FreeRADIUS Version 3.0.24

+
+====
+
+FreeRADIUS is now ready to process RadSec traffic.
+
+For testing, we first test normal RADIUS over UDP functionality, then
+the RadSec connection using a test client, then introduce a proxy
+server, and finally we enable PROXY Protocol. Doing the tests in this
+way ensures that we know that all previous steps work before trying
+the next step. This process allows us to quickly narrow down
+problems, and gets us to the final goal _faster_ than just "doing
+everything all at once".
+
+=== Testing the RADIUS policy
+
+Before moving on, verify that the FreeRADIUS policy is able to
+authenticate a local test RADIUS Access-Request over UDP:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+echo "User-Name = terry" | radclient 127.0.0.1 auth testing123
+----
+
+Due to the `accept` we added in the `authorize` section, the expected
+output should be an Access-Accept:
+
+.Expected output from radclient
+===============================
+
+ Sent Access-Request Id 157 from 0.0.0.0:36850 to 127.0.0.1:1812 length 27
+ Received Access-Accept Id 157 from 127.0.0.1:1812 to 127.0.0.1:36850 length 20
+
+===============================
+
+Any other output indicates that there is a problem with the FreeRADIUS
+configuration which *must* be solved before testing RadSec. Carefully verify that
+you have carried out each of the above steps correctly and examine the debug
+output from FreeRADIUS, which will usually tell you what is wrong.
+
+See [how to read the debug
+output](http://wiki.freeradius.org/radiusd-X) for instructions on
+reading amd understanding the debug output.
+
+The next step is to xref:protocols/proxy/radsec_client.adoc[configure
+FreeRADIUS as a RadSec test client] so that we can verify that our
+RadSec server is working.

+= Proxying RadSec and enabling PROXY Protocol
+
+This guide shows how to set up FreeRADIUS to serve RadSec connections, fronted
+by either HAproxy or Traefik as Layer 4 proxies that pass on the original
+client connection information using PROXY Protocol.
+
+It is not a comprehensive guide to using RadSec with FreeRADIUS. It presents a
+basic configuration that uses an example CA and does not validate certificate
+attributes or perform revokation status.
+
+
+== Introduction
+
+FreeRADIUS supports receiving RADIUS requests over TLS-enabled TCP connections
+and supports proxying of requests over TCP connections to another TLS-enabled
+homeserver. The protocol for RADIUS over TLS is called "RadSec" and is defined
+in RFC 6614.
+
+FreeRADIUS is a capable and performant application-aware ("Layer 7") proxy /
+load-balancer for RadSec and other forms of RADIUS traffic.
+
+
+=== Layer 4 proxying
+
+Rather than use an application-aware proxy it is sometimes better to reduce the
+performance impact incurred by re-encoding an application protocol by using a
+"Layer 4" proxy that operates at the level of individual connections without
+regard for the application protocol. Such a proxy is more of a "bump in the
+wire" than a request buffer and minimises the latency incurred due to proxying.
+
+It is common to see software such as HAproxy and Traefik used in Layer 4 mode
+in place of FreeRADIUS for purposes such as connection load balancing. In
+addition to improved performance, these tools have the benefit that they
+typically support dynamic service discovery and "hitless" reloads to
+automatically adapt their connection routing based on changes to backend
+services such as the introduction of new nodes with even a momentary loss of
+service.
+
+
+=== Loss of connection information
+
+When TCP connections are relayed through Layer 4 proxies the information
+about the originating source of the connection is no longer known to the
+backend service, unless it is otherwise made available. Identifying the
+originator of connections is often necessary for security purposes and for
+request processing.
+
+Whilst many application protcols support headers that allow proxies to preserve
+connection information these are not helpful in the context of Layer 4
+proxying: The process of populating headers requires knowledge of the
+application protocol to re-encode requests as they are transmitted between the
+frontend and backend connections.
+
+
+=== PROXY Protocol
+
+PROXY Protocol overcomes this limitation by allowing the original connection
+information to be provided to the backend at the start of the TCP connection.
+After this initial data is encoded the remainder of the conversation then
+proceeds as normal. However now that the connection information is known to the
+backend server it is able to process requests made on the connection as though
+the connection were being made directly by the client and not via the proxy.
+
+PROXY Protocol is specified in this document:
+http://www.haproxy.org/download/1.8/doc/proxy-protocol.txt
+
+
+== Requirements
+
+PROXY Protocol Version 1 is supported by FreeRADIUS v3.0.24 and later versions.
+
+You will require the following set of VMs or containers, each with their own
+IP address:
+
+[cols="1,1,1"]
+|===
+|Hostname|IP address|Purpose
+
+|radseccli
+|172.23.0.2
+|FreeRADIUS configured to provide a RadSec test client
+
+|radsecsvr
+|172.23.0.3
+|FreeRADIUS configured as a RadSec server
+
+|haproxy
+|172.23.0.4
+|HAproxy in Layer 4 mode to the FreeRADIUS RadSec backend
+|===
+
+Optionally you may want to configure a host to run Traefik within a Docker
+container using host mode networking, perhaps configured by Docker Compose,
+however the installation is beyond the scope of this guide:
+
+[cols="1,1,1"]
+|===
+|traefik
+|172.23.0.5
+|Traefik configured as a TCP router with TLS passthrough to the FreeRADIUS RadSec backend
+|===
+
+The hostnames and IP addresses provided above are for examples purposes and are
+used throughout the remainder of this guide. This guide provides commands and
+output for CentOS. Other distributions will have minor differences, including
+the location of the FreeRADIUS configuration (the "raddb").
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+You can choose to use your own hostname, IP addresses and OS distribution. You
+could also use official Docker images provided by the respecitive projects,
+however these prescribe methods for configuring and managing the services
+that are not typical for a normal package installation which would provide a
+distraction if used for by guide.

+== Configuring FreeRADIUS as a RadSec test client
+
+Unfortunately, the `radclient` program does not support RadSec. We
+must therefore configure an instance of FreeRADIUS as a "transport
+converter" which proxies UDP-based RADIUS requests to a RadSec
+destination of our choice.
+
+The following steps should be performed on a client system, which we
+will call `radseccli`. This system should be a new system, with a
+different IP address. That is, you shoudl not edit the configuration
+on the `radsecsvr` host. Doing so will break the RadSec configuration.
+
+Install FreeRADIUS using the NetworkRADIUS packages by following the
+instructions provided here:
+
+<https://networkradius.com/packages/>
+
+Before making any configuration changes, you should stop the radiusd
+service:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+ service radiusd stop
+----
+
+Add a new `tls` home server definition, which will point to the RadSec
+server. We do this by creating a file
+`/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/radsec-homeserver` with the following
+contents:
+
+.Example homeserver, pool and realm definitions for the RadSec service
+====
+
+ home_server tls {
+ ipaddr = 172.23.0.3 # IP address of our RadSec server
+ port = 2083
+ type = auth+acct
+ proto = tcp
+ tls {
+ private_key_password = whatever
+ private_key_file = ${certdir}/client.pem
+ certificate_file = ${certdir}/client.pem
+ ca_file = ${cadir}/ca.pem
+ }
+ }
+ home_server_pool tls {
+ type = fail-over
+ home_server = tls
+ }
+ realm tls {
+ auth_pool = tls
+ acct_pool = tls
+ }
+
+====
+
+[TIP]
+====
+Complete descriptions of each of the above configuration items can be found in the
+`[raddb]/sites-available/tls` example configuration file. For simple tests, however,
+we can omit all of the comments from the file.
+====
+
+To use this `tls` home server, we change the `default` virtual server to proxy
+all authentication and accounting requests to it.
+
+Edit the `/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default` file so that the beginning of
+the `authorize` and `preacct` sections looks as follows:
+
+.Example default virtual server modification to proxy requests to a RadSec proxy server
+====
+
+ authorize {
+ update control {
+ &Proxy-To-Realm := tls
+ }
+ handled
+ ...
+ }
+ ...
+ preacct {
+ update control {
+ &Proxy-To-Realm := tls
+ }
+ handled
+ ...
+ }
+
+====
+
+These changes make the `tls` virtual server always proxy packets.
+These changes are only for testing, and should never be used in
+production.
+
+We must now copy the example CA certificate as well as the client
+certificate and key files which are on the `radsecsrv` host to this
+test client.
+
+Replace the following files on `radseccli` with the equivalent files from
+`radsecsrv`:
+
+[cols="1,1,1"]
+|===
+|File|Corresponding configuration item|Purpose
+
+|/etc/raddb/certs/ca.pem
+|`ca_file`
+|CA certificate which is used to authenticate the server certificate presented by the RadSec server to the client.
+
+|/etc/raddb/certs/client.pem
+|`certificate_file`
+|Client certificate (signed by the CA certificate) that is presented by the test client to the RadSec server.
+
+|/etc/raddb/certs/client.pem
+|`private_key_file` and `private_key_password`
+|Private key corresponding to the client certificate
+|===
+
+Note that the client certificate and key are typically bundled into a single file.
+
+[CAUTION]
+====
+If you do not correctly replace the CA, client certificate, and key
+material on the test client then the RadSec client and RadSec server
+will fail to mutually authenticate each other as they do not share a
+trusted CA. If you see messages like `unknown CA`, then you know that
+the certificates have not been set up correctly.
+====
+
+Start the FreeRADIUS service in debug mode:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+radiusd -X
+----
+
+
+=== Testing RadSec connectivity
+
+At this stage you should be able to cause the test client to send RadSec
+requests directly to the RadSec server.
+
+Run the following to send a RADUS (UDP) Access-Request to the local FreeRADIUS
+instance. It should then proxy the request over RadSec connection to
+the remote RadSec server:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+ echo "User-Name = bob" | radclient 127.0.0.1 auth testing123
+----
+
+If the test client is able to successfully establish the RadSec
+connection, and the RadSec server replies with an Access-Accept
+response, then the output will be as follows:
+
+.Expected output from radclient
+===============================
+
+ Sent Access-Request Id 252 from 0.0.0.0:50118 to 127.0.0.1:1812 length 27
+ Received Access-Accept Id 252 from 127.0.0.1:1812 to 127.0.0.1:50118 length 39
+
+===============================
+
+Lack of response or an Access-Reject response indicates that the RadSec
+connection is not being established successfully.
+
+There may be serveral reasons for broken connectivity including:
+
+ * The client not accepting the certificate presented by the server.
+ * The server not accepting the certificate presented by the client.
+
+Look at the debug output generated by both the test client and the RadSec
+server. In many cases it will tell you exactly what the problem is.
+
+Do not proceed with any further steps until direct connections between the
+RadSec client and Radsec Server are working properly.
+
+Once things are working we are ready to
+xref:protocols/proxy/radsec_with_haproxy.adoc[configure HAproxy to proxy RadSec
+connections] or to xref:protocols/proxy/radsec_with_traefik.adoc[configure
+Traefik to proxy RadSec connections].

+== Proxying RadSec with HAproxy
+
+This section shows how to configure HAproxy to proxy RadSec connections.
+
+The following steps should be performed on the `haproxy` host, unless otherwise
+stated.
+
+Install the HAproxy package supplied with the OS distribution:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+ yum install haproxy
+----
+
+Stop the haproxy service:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+ service haproxy stop
+----
+
+Modify the haproxy configuration (typically `/etc/haproxy/haproxy.conf`) so
+that it includes new frontend and backend configuration for the radsec service:
+
+.Example minimal HAproxy configuration
+======================================
+
+ global
+ maxconn 100
+ defaults
+ mode tcp
+ timeout connect 10s
+ timeout client 30s
+ timeout server 30s
+ frontend radsec_fe
+ bind *:2083
+ default_backend radsec_be
+ backend radsec_be
+ balance roundrobin
+ server radsecsvr 172.23.0.3:2083
+
+======================================
+
+Note the `mode tcp` directive which tells HAproxy to act as a Layer 4
+proxy, so that it doesn't attempt to perform SSL termination or
+decode the RADIUS protocol.
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+The above example is a minimal configuration. In practise you will want to
+retain many of the HAproxy configuration items already present in the
+configuration (e.g. `log`, `chroot`, `user`, `group`), but these vary across
+distributions. Other HTTP-related options that may already exist in the
+configuration will conflict with `mode tcp` (Layer 4 proxying) and should be
+removed if HAproxy complains about them.
+
+However, you should first get things working with the minimal
+configuration which is known to work, and then make customisations.
+If you start off with a complex configuration, then there may be a
+large number of things which are broken, and debugging them all will
+be difficult. Start simple, and then add complexity!
+====
+
+Restart the haproxy service in foreground mode for debugging purposes:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg -db
+----
+
+
+=== Testing RadSec connectivity via HAproxy
+
+Now edit the test RadSec client, so that instead of making connections directly
+to the RadSec server it makes connections to the HAproxy server.
+
+On `radseccli` edit the `/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/tls` file, and set
+the IP address to the address of the `haproxy` host.
+
+.Example updated test client homeserver configuration
+=====================================================
+
+ home_server tls {
+ ipaddr = 172.23.0.4 # Updated from radsecsvr to haproxy
+ ...
+ }
+
+=====================================================
+
+Restart the debug mode session:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+radiusd -X
+----
+
+Perform a test authentication:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+ echo "User-Name = bob" | radclient 127.0.0.1 auth testing123
+----
+
+If the test client is able to successfully establish the RadSec
+connection via HAproxy, and the RadSec server replies with an
+Access-Accept response, then the output will be as follows:
+
+.Expected output from radclient
+===============================
+
+ Sent Access-Request Id 252 from 0.0.0.0:50118 to 127.0.0.1:1812 length 27
+ Received Access-Accept Id 252 from 127.0.0.1:1812 to 127.0.0.1:50118 length 39
+
+===============================
+
+HAproxy should also log a message that indicates that the connection was
+proxied, such as the following:
+
+.Expected output from HAproxy
+=============================
+
+ <150>...: Connect from 172.23.0.2:50087 to 172.23.0.4:2083 (radius_fr/TCP)
+
+=============================
+
+Any other output from radclient or HAproxy indicates that there is a
+problem with the HAproxy configuration, or that FreeRADIUS is not
+accepting connection from the `haproxy` host, which must be solved
+before continuing.
+
+Once proxied connections are working we are ready to
+xref:protocols/proxy/enable_proxy_protocol.adoc[enable the PROXY
+Protocol] on both HAproxy and the RadSec server.

+== Proxying RadSec with Traefik
+
+This section shows how to configure Traefik to proxy RadSec connections. You
+should skip this section if you are not using Traefik as your proxy.
+
+Installing Traefik is beyond the scope of this guide. It is typically installed
+as a service mesh router within a Docker or Kubernetes environment using
+offical Docker images.
+
+Traefik configuration has two components of interest:
+
+ * Static configuration: Defines "entrypoints" on which Traefik listens for connections.
+ * Dynamic configuration: Defines backend service components and the routing policy.
+
+Traefik supports a number of providers of dynamic configuration data for the
+router and service definitions. For demonstration purposes the files provider
+is used here, however you can switch to another provide once you have things
+working using this method.
+
+The static configuration can be provided by starting Traefik with the following
+arguments:
+
+.Example Traefik static configuration
+=====================================
+
+ traefik \
+ --log.level=DEBUG \
+ --providers.file.filename=/etc/traefik/dynamic_config.yml
+ --providers.file.watch=true
+ --entryPoints.radsec.address=:2083
+
+=====================================
+
+Note that a `radsec` entrypoint is defined to listen on port 2083 and that a
+static `file` provider is used to defined the dynamic services.
+
+The backend for RadSec should be defined in this file as follows:
+
+.Example Traefik dynamic configuration
+======================================
+
+ tcp:
+ routers:
+ radsec-router:
+ entryPoints:
+ - radsec
+ rule: "HostSNI(`*`)"
+ service: "radsec-service"
+ tls:
+ passthrough: true
+ services:
+ radsec-service:
+ loadBalancer:
+ servers:
+ - address: "172.23.0.3:2083"
+
+======================================
+
+Note the `passthrough: true` directive under `tls:` which tells Treafik not to
+attempt TLS termination which it would otherwise perform for all incoming TLS
+connections. We require that the connection is passed through from the RadSec
+client to the RadSec server without being reterminated since the end client's
+certificate is authenticated by the RadSec server and many be used for
+policy decisions.
+
+
+=== Testing RadSec connectivity via Traefik
+
+Now amend the test RadSec client so that instead of making connections directly
+to the RadSec server it makes them via Traefik.
+
+On `radseccli` amend `/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/tls` and set the IP address to
+that of the `traefik` host.
+
+.Example updated test client homeserver configuration
+=====================================================
+
+ home_server tls {
+ ipaddr = 172.23.0.5 # Updated from radsecsvr to traefik
+ ...
+ }
+
+=====================================================
+
+Restart the debug mode session:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+radiusd -X
+----
+
+Perform a test authentication:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+ echo "User-Name = bob" | radclient 127.0.0.1 auth testing123
+----
+
+If the test client is able to successfully establish the RadSec connection via
+Traefik and the RadSec server replies with an Access-Accept response then the
+output will be as follows:
+
+.Example output from radclient
+==============================
+
+ Sent Access-Request Id 252 from 0.0.0.0:50118 to 127.0.0.1:1812 length 27
+ Received Access-Accept Id 252 from 127.0.0.1:1812 to 127.0.0.1:50118 length 39
+
+==============================
+
+Traefik should also log a message that indicates that the connection was
+proxied, such as the following:
+
+.Example output from Traefik
+============================
+
+ time="..." level=debug msg="Handling connection from 172.23.0.2:57367"
+
+============================
+
+Any other output from radclient or Traefik indicates that there is a problem
+with the Traefik configuration or that FreeRADIUS is not accepting connection
+from the `traefik` host, which must be solved before continuing.
+
+Once proxied connections are working we are ready to
+xref:protocols/proxy/enable_proxy_protocol.adoc[enable the PROXY Protocol] on
+both Traefik and the RadSec server.
+
