What happens if a user remains logged in from one location when using RADIUS-assigned pools?

When using RADIUS-assigned pools, if a user remains logged in from one location, they must log out to connect from a different device. This is because RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) typically manages user sessions and assigns IP addresses based on the user's connection session. When a user is authenticated and assigned an IP address from a pool, that specific IP is tied to the session.

If the user tries to connect from another device without logging out of the original session, there would be conflicts with IP allocation, leading to potential issues like duplicate IP assignments or unauthorized access attempts. Logging out ensures that the session is terminated cleanly, allowing the RADIUS server to free up the assigned IP address and any associated resources for use by the new device. This mechanism helps maintain proper session management and security standards, preventing unauthorized access through valid authentication credentials already in use on another device.
