114 Configuring the domain
Configuring Nortel SNAS -specific attributes
The RADIUS accounting server uses Vendor-Id and Vendor-Type
attributes in combination to identify the source of the accounting
information. The attributes are sent to the RADIUS accounting server
together with the accounting information for the logged in user.
You can assign vendor-specific codes to the Vendor-Id and Vendor-Type
attributes for the Nortel SNAS domain. In this way, the RADIUS
accounting server can provide separate accounting information for each
Nortel SNAS domain.
Each vendor has a specific dictionary. The Vendor-Id specified for an
attribute identifies the dictionary the RADIUS server will use to retrieve
the attribute value. The Vendor-Type indicates the index number of the
required entry in the dictionary file.
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has designated SMI
Network Management Private Enterprise Codes that can be assigned to
the Vendor-Id attribute (see http://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise
-numbers).
RFC 2866 describes usage of the Vendor-Type attribute.
Contact your RADIUS system administrator for information about the
vendor-specific attributes used by the external RADIUS accounting server.
To simplify the task of finding accounting entries in the RADIUS server
log, do the following:
Step Action
1In the RADIUS server dictionary, define a descriptive string (for
example, NSNAS-Portal-ID).
2Map this string to the Vendor-Type value.
--End--
To configure vendor-specific attributes in order to identify the Nortel SNAS
domain, use the following command:
/cfg/domain #/aaa/radacct/domainattr
The Domain Attribute menu appears.
The Domain Attribute menu includes the following options:
