Fall-Through

    VALUE      Fall-Through      No                   0       
    VALUE      Fall-Through      Yes                  1       

The Fall-Through attribute should be used in reply-list. If its value is set to Yes in a particular record, it indicates to Radius that it should continue looking up another records even when this record matches the request. It can be used to provide default values for several profiles.

Consider the following example. Let's suppose the `users' file contains the following:

    
    johns   Auth-Type = SQL
                    Framed-IP-Address = 11.10.10.251,
                    Fall-Through = Yes
    
    smith   Auth-Type = SQL
                    Framed-IP-Address = 11.10.10.252,
                    Fall-Through = Yes
    
    DEFAULT NAS-IP-Address = 11.10.10.1
            Service-Type = Framed-User,
                    Framed-Protocol = PPP
    

Then after successful matching of a particular user's record, the matching will continue until it finds the DEFAULT entry, which would add its RHS to the reply pairs for this request. The effect is, that if user `johns' authenticates successfully it gets the following reply pairs:

            Service-Type = Framed-User,
            Framed-Protocol = PPP,  
            Framed-IP-Address = 11.10.10.251

whereas user smith gets

            Service-Type = Framed-User,
            Framed-Protocol = PPP,  
            Framed-IP-Address = 11.10.10.252

Please note that the attribute Fall-Through itself is never returned to the NAS.
