exception is that particular IP addresses take precedence over IP pools in the local-address and

RADIUS authentication gives the ISP or network administrator the ability to manageP2P user
access and accounting from one server throughout a large network. The Wandy RouterOS has a
RADIUS client which can authenticate for PPP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP and ISDN connections. The
attributes received from RADIUS server override the ones set in the default profile, but if some
parameters are not received they are taken from the respective default profile.
Traffic is accounted locally with Cisco IP pairs and snapshot image can be gathered using Syslog
utilities. If RADIUS accounting is enabled, accounting information is also sent to the RADIUS
server default for that service.
