[RADIATOR] Dynamically assign VLAN to wireless clients

Hi All,

We would like to dynamically assign VLAN's to wireless clients.
All of the authentication process (inner and outer tunnel etc.) runs OK,
but the last step should be assigning a dynamic VLAN ID
(Tunnel-Private-Group-ID) to the client in a short range of ID's.

Can this be done, and if so, how?

I already wrote a small PostAuthHook that can generate a random VLAN-ID
within this short range of ID's. It replaces the default
Tunnel-Private-Group-ID in the reply-packet with the generated ID, but
it doesn't do the trick. It does replace the Tunnel-Private-Group-ID but
is has no affect on the process (so it seems).

The reason for this feature is that the current VLAN is too small and we
prefer to have several VLAN's for the wireless clients instead of a much
larger single VLAN.

Any other ideas or workarounds are also appreciated.

Kind regards,
