rfc2138: Implementation Note This memo documents the RADIUS protocol. There has been some confusion in the assignment of port numbers for this protocol. The early deployment of RADIUS was done using the erroneously chosen port number 1645, which conflicts with the "datametrics" service. The officially assigned port number for RADIUS is 1812. rfc2139: Implementation Note This memo documents the RADIUS Accounting protocol. There has been some confusion in the assignment of port numbers for this protocol. The early deployment of RADIUS Accounting was done using the erroneously chosen port number 1646, which conflicts with the "sa- msg-port" service. The officially assigned port number for RADIUS Accounting is 1813. regards, roland -- Roland Yeo <roland_yeo@pacific.net.sg> Pacific Internet Ltd - Singapore On Wed, 6 Jan 1999, Matt Baker wrote: > Just got burnt by a easy problem. that took the most part of the day > to solve (argh) > > I was setting up a radius server on a FreeBSD 3.0 box (cistron server) > All worked fine, but couldn't get a Livingston PM3 to talk. > I'ld looked in /etc/services to make sure that entries were in there, > which they were. > Anyway, after alot of stuffing around, I ended up looking at things > with tcpdump and found that the FreeBSD box was refusing connection > to the radius UDP port. > Turns out that FreeBSD 3.0 has the ports defined as: > radius 1812/udp #RADIUS authentication protocol (RFC 2138) > radacct 1813/udp #RADIUS accounting protocol (RFC 2139) > > where as the Livingston PM3 defaults to using 1645 & 1646 > (which I believe many other terminals do also). > > Any reason why FreeBSD is defining them as 1812 & 1813? > > Matthew. > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
