Configuring RADIUS Server Support for Switch Services

RADIUS Server Configuration for Per-Port CoS (802.1p Priority) and Rate-Limiting

ProCurve(config)# show qos port-priority							Priority in the Apply Rule
							column indicates a non-
	Port	priorities					default CoS (802.1p)
							priority configured in the
	Port	Apply rule	DSCP	Priority	Radius		switch for port B1. The 3 in
							the Priority column shows
	----	----------- +	------	-----------	------------	---	the actual value
							configured. No-override
	B1	Priority		3	No-override		indicates that there is
	B2	No-override		No-override	No-override		currently no RADIUS-
	B3	No-override		No-override	No-override		imposed CoS priority
							affecting the port.
	B4	DSCP	001010	2	5
	B5	No-override		No-override	No-override
	B6	No-override		No-override	No-override

The DSCP in the Apply Rule column and the 001010 in the DSCP column indicate a non- default CoS (802.1p) priority configured in the switch for packets with a Diffserv codepoint of 001010 inbound on port B4. The 2 in the Priority column shows the CoS priority most recently configured for application to packets with that codepoint. The 5 in the Radius Override column indicates that there is currently at least one authenticated-client session on port B4, and that the most recent RADIUS-imposed CoS priority for the port is 5, which overrides the configured DSCP setting. See also the following Note.

Figure 6-2. Example of Displaying Inbound CoS (802.1p) Priority Imposed by a RADIUS Session

Note	Where multiple clients are currently authenticated on a given port where
	inbound CoS and Rate-Limiting values have been imposed by a RADIUS server,
	the port operates with the inbound CoS priority and rate-limit assigned by
	RADIUS for the most recently authenticated client. Any earlier CoS or rate-
	limit values on the same port for authenticated client sessions that are still
	active are overwritten by the most recent RADIUS-imposed values. For exam­
	ple, if client “X” is authenticated with a CoS of 5 and a rate-limit of 75%, and
	client “Y” later becomes authenticated with a CoS of 3 and a rate-limit of 50%
	while the session for client “X” is still active, then the port will operate with a
	CoS of 3 and a rate-limit of 50% for both clients.
