MAC Address in Radius Accounting Start Record

[Vikram_Anumukonda_2]

what's the MAC Address AVP that appears in accounting start record used for ?

[Tarik Admani]

Are you referring to the calling station id or the called station id? Once show the mac address of the client and the other is the mac address of the device it authenticated from.

Thanks,

the records are showing the ip address and not the mac address that's what is confusing me.

Vikram,

Are you performing webauth or is this for an auth-proxy session? If a user authenticates via dot1x then the calling station id is the mac address, if the user is peforming webauth or if this for an auth-proxy session then the ip address of the client is sent.

Thanks,

Tarik
