488CHAPTER 21: CONFIGURING AAA FOR NETWORK USERS

Table 43 lists the authorization attributes supported by MSS. (For brief descriptions of all the RADIUS attributes and 3Com vendor-specific attributes supported by MSS, as well as the vendor ID and types for 3Com VSAs configured on a RADIUS server “Supported RADIUS Attributes” on page 651.)

„ The WX switch ignores the

 

 

 

 

acct-interim-interval value and

 

 

issues a log message if the value is

 

 

below 60 seconds.

 

 

„ If both a RADIUS server and the

 

 

WX switch supply a value for the

 

 

acct-interim-interval attribute,

 

 

then the value from the WX switch

 

 

takes precedence.
