Once upon a time patrick@value.net shaped the electrons to say...
>> That is 'negotiated' in the PM, or 255.255.255.255 in RADIUS.
>I think you mean 255.255.255.254.

<!-- Distribution:World Status:Verified Author:megazone -->
Addressing methods via RADIUS

Framed-Address = x.x.x.x

where x.x.x.x is an valid host IP. This is static addressing.
This is not preferred, it is a large waste of IP numbers and can lead
to routing problems.

Framed-Address = 255.255.255.254

This is dynamic addressing, it tells the PM to assign an IP from its pool.
This is the preferred method of addressing. Uses the least number of
IPs and avoids security problems.

Framed-Address = 255.255.255.255

This is negotiated addressing, it allows the user to pick their own IP.
Obviously a potential security problem, not used often.

I meant .255
