Once upon a time Abdul-Jalil Kanaan shaped the electrons to say...
>If you use "Framed-IP-Netmask = 255.255.255.224," you will assigne an IP
>to the caller from the IP pool, on the other hand you will specify an IP
This is doubly wrong.
1. .224 is wrong in ANY case, it is .254
2. Framed-IP-Netmask has nothing to do with the address.
Now: with ***FRAMED-IP-ADDRESS*** there are special values:
Framed-IP-Address = 255.255.255.254
That means to assign the user an IP out of the pool, this is what most people
will be using.
Framed-IP-Address = 255.255.255.255
This means let the user pick ANY IP address - very, very, very few people
will ever use this. It is dangerous.
