I have a user who's radius profile looks like this:
username Password = "xxxxxxx"
User-Service = Framed-User,
Ascend-Send-Auth = Send-Auth-CHAP,
Ascend-Send-Secret = "xxxxxx",
Framed-Address = 204.143.70.241,
Framed-Netmask = 255.255.255.240,
Ascend-Idle-Limit = 1800

He is connecting to an Ascend TS with an Ascend P50. What seems to be
happening is that his static route is not being created on the TS every
time he logs in and he is unable to route.

Any ideas?

Are these two lines nescecary?
the "send" authentication info doesn't make sense
for a dialin connection (the ascend only auths one-way)
maybe the Max is not seeing the framed address/mask because of them,
see what happens if you move them to the bottom of the profile
or remove them entirely.

This is the same problem that I was trying to deal with a few months ago...
We still have the problem now and then...

Firstly, in our case, there "appears" to be an entry in the routing table
on the Max. Secondly, this only appears with users that require a static
IP. Lastly, its not exclusive to P50 users....

This is what we have for a radius user-entry:

Username Password="xxxxxxxxx"
Framed-Protocol = PPP,
Framed-Address = 207.194.216.xx,
Framed-Netmask = 255.255.255.255,
Framed-Route = "207.194.217.nn/mmm 207.194.216.xx 1 n"

If routing is failing (ie, nothing goes past the Max), and I do a manual
creation of the route on the Max, all is fine and generally stays that way
until I have to power down the Max -- at which point, all customer static
routes are gone...

This does seem silly and I'm sure there is something easy being missed
here....

Well this is the way we have always done it for our static IP customers,
rudundant or not, it works.

The above two attributes are redundant as they are only used in out-dialing
profiles.

This should add the route "204.143.70.240/29 204.143.70.241 wanXX" - are
you not
seeing this when he connects?

Is it possibly a config conflict between this radius setup and his P50?

When he connects, have you verified this suspicion by checking the routing


table?
Are other users able to connect OK?
What does the P50 end look like?

No, this is redundant. The information in his profile *should* add that
route automatically.
