State value in an Access-Request
response to the RADIUS server, when a
response is required. (For details, see
RFC 2865.)
Class 25 Yes No Yes If received, this information must be sent
on, without interpretation, in all
subsequent packets sent to the RADIUS
server for that client session.

Nortel VSAs. (See Table 50 on

allowed the user before reauthentication
of the session.

Note: If the global

reauthentication timeout (set by

session-timeout, WSS Software

uses the global timeout instead.
