(To assign authorization attributes through RADIUS, see the documentation for your RADIUS server.)

Usage To change the value of an attribute, enter set mac-user attr with the new value. To delete an attribute, use clear mac-user attr.

You can assign attributes to individual MAC users and to MAC user groups. If attributes are configured for a MAC user and also for the group the MAC user is in, the attributes assigned to the individual MAC user take precedence for that user. For example, if the start-date attribute configured for a MAC user is sooner than the start-date configured for the MAC user group the user is in, the MAC user’s network access can begin as soon as the user start-date. The MAC user does not need to wait for the MAC user group’s start date.
