Table 42 Radius Configuration fields

Field	Description
Vendor Id for Group	Specifies the vendor-specific attribute used by the RADIUS
Attributes	server to send group names to the Nortel SNAS 4050. The
	default Vendor-Id is 1872 (Alteon).
	To use a standard RADIUS attribute rather than the
	vendor-specific one, set the vendor ID to 0 (see also
	vendor type).
	Note: If the Authentication Protocol is CHAPv2, the
	Vendor-Id must be set to 311 (Microsoft).
Vendor Type for Group	Specifies the Vendor-Type value used in combination with
Attributes	the Vendor-Id to identify the groups to which the user
	belongs. The group names to which the vendor-specific
	attribute points must match names you define on the Nortel
	SNAS 4050. The default is 1.
	If you set the vendor ID to 0 in order to use a standard
	RADIUS attribute (see vendor ID), set the vendor type to a
	standard attribute type as defined in RFC 2865. For
	example, to use the standard attribute Class, set the
	vendor ID to 0 and the vendor type to 25.
Vendor Id for Domain ID	Specifies the vendor-specific attribute used by the RADIUS
Attributes	server to send domain names to the Nortel SNAS 4050.
	The default Vendor-Id is 1872 (Alteon).
	Note: If the Authentication Protocol is CHAPv2, consider
	setting the Vendor-Id for the domain to 10
	(MS-CHAP-Domain).
Vendor Type for Domain ID	Specifies the Vendor-Type value used in combination with
Attributes	the Vendor-Id to identify the domain. The default is 2.
Radius Server Timeout	Sets the timeout interval for a connection request to a
	RADIUS server. At the end of the timeout period, if no
	connection has been established, authentication will fail.
	Acceptable values are an integer that indicates the time
	interval followed by a letter to specify the measurement
	unit. The options for measurement units are:
	•	s — seconds
	•	m — minutes
	•	h — hours
	If you do not specify a measurement unit, seconds is
	assumed. The range is 1–10000 seconds. The default is
	10 seconds.
