Suppose the following file is stored under `raddb/menus/menu1':
menu *** Welcome EEE user! *** Please select an option: 1. Start CSLIP session 2. Start PPP session 3. Quit Option: end # CSLIP choice # Framed-IP-Address of 255.255.255.254 indicates that the NAS should # select an address for the user from its own IP pool. 1 Service-Type = Framed-User, Framed-Protocol = SLIP, Framed-IP-Address = 255.255.255.254, Termination-Menu = "menu1" # PPP choice 2 Service-Type = Framed-User, Framed-Protocol = PPP, Framed-IP-Address = 255.255.255.254, Termination-Menu = "menu1" # A special menu EXIT means abort the session 3 Menu = "EXIT" # Return to this menu if no valid choice have been entered DEFAULT Menu = "menu1"
Now, suppose the `raddb/users' contains the following profile entry:
DEFAULT Auth-Type = System Menu = "menu1"
and user `jsmith' has a valid system account and tries to log in
from some NAS. Upon authenticating the user, the Radius server sees that
his reply pairs contain the Menu
attribute. Radius then sends
Access-Challenge packet to the NAS with the text of the menu in it.
The `jsmith' then sees on his terminal:
*** Welcome EEE user! *** Please select an option: 1. Start CSLIP session 2. Start PPP session 3. Quit Option:
He then enters `2'. The NAS sends the Access-Request packet to the server, which sees that user wishes to use option 2 and replies to the NAS with an Access-Accept packet containing the following attributes:
Service-Type = Framed-User, Framed-Protocol = PPP, Framed-IP-Address = 255.255.255.254, Termination-Menu = "menu1"
The Termination-Menu
in this list makes sure the same process
will continue when `jsmith' logs out, i.e. he will be presented
the same menu again until he enters choice `3' which will
disconnect him.
In this example, the `other' choice refers to the menu above.
menu *** Welcome here! *** Please enter an option: ppp --- Start PPP session telnet --- Begin guest login session other --- Select other option Enter your choice: end ppp Service-Type = Framed-User, Framed-Protocol = PPP telnet Service-Type = Login-User, Login-IP-Host = 10.11.11.7, Login-Service = Telnet, Login-TCP-Port = 23 other Menu = "menu1" DEFAULT menu = "menu2"
