Syntax of mac2vlan file in freeradius?

  • 772

Below is the content of mac2vlan file in freeradius. When I uncomment this line 00:01:02:03:04:05,VLAN1 it logs a parsing error including configuration file /etc/raddb/modules/mac2vlan

/etc/raddb/modules/mac2vlan[10]: Parse error after "00:01:02:03:04:05"
Errors reading /etc/raddb/radiusd.conf

What is the correct syntax?

# -*- text -*-
#
#  $Id$

#  A simple file to map a MAC address to a VLAN.
#
#  The file should be in the format MAC,VLAN
#  the VLAN name cannot have spaces in it, for example:
#
        00:01:02:03:04:05,VLAN1
#       03:04:05:06:07:08,VLAN2
#       ...

passwd mac2vlan {
        filename = ${confdir}/mac2vlan
        format = "*VMPS-Mac:=VMPS-VLAN-Name"
        delimiter = ","
}

  1. I know it's been a while since this was posted, but for the next guy (or gal) that stumbles across this posting looking for help as I did, hopefully will find value in my answer.

    The /etc/raddb/modules/mac2vlan file only shows an example of what the mac2vlan file should look like.

    The actual mac2vlan file is referenced in this script:

    filename = ${confdir}/mac2vlan

    You should have (or create as I had to) a mac2vlan file in /etc/raddb/ using the syntax referenced above. Do not uncomment anything in /etc/raddb/modules/mac2vlan file.

    I should also mention, that the version of freeradius I am using, the path is actually /etc/freeradius not /etc/raddb as referenced above.

  2. Looks like it is complaining about a line with a comment, which is missing a # character at the start of the line. Additionally, the last line probably shouldn't have been a comment, so the # character on the last line need to be removed.
