Nortel WLAN 2300 System Software (WSS Software) supports the standard and extended RADIUS authentication and accounting attributes listed in Table 39. Also supported are Nortel vendor-specific attributes (VSAs), listed in Table 40 on page 604.

An attribute is sent to RADIUS accounting only if the table listing it shows Yes or Optional in the column marked Sent in Accounting-Requestfor the attribute and the attribute is applied to the client’s session configuration. Attribute values have the following characteristics unless otherwise stated:

•Strings can contain a maximum of 253 characters.

•Integers are 4 bytes.

•IP addresses are 4 bytes.

The RADIUS attributes WSS Software supports are based on these IETF RFCs and drafts:

•RFC 2865, Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS)

•RFC 2866, RADIUS Accounting

•RFC 2868, RADIUS Attributes for Tunnel Protocol Support

•RFC 2869, RADIUS Extensions

•draft-congdon-radius-8021x-29.txt (IEEE 802.1X RADIUS Usage Guidelines)

Supported Standard and Extended Attributes

The RADIUS attributes shown in Table 39 are sent by WSS switches to RADIUS servers during authentication and accounting.
