Table 76 Supported VSAs

FUNCTION	ATTRIBUTE

Egress Bandwidth	Vendor-Id = 890
Assignment	Vendor-Type = 2
	Vendor-data = egress rate (Kbps in decimal format)
Privilege	Vendor-ID = 890
Assignment	Vendor-Type = 3
	Vendor-Data = "shell:priv-lvl=N"
	or
	Vendor-ID = 9 (CISCO)
	Vendor-Type = 1 (CISCO-AVPAIR)
	Vendor-Data = "shell:priv-lvl=N"
	where N is a privilege level (from 0 to 14).
	Note: If you set the privilege level of a login account differently
	on the RADIUS server(s) and the Switch, the user is
	assigned a privilege level from the database (RADIUS or
	local) the Switch uses first for user authentication.

25.2.4.1 Tunnel Protocol Attribute

You can configure tunnel protocol attributes on the RADIUS server (refer to your RADIUS server documentation) to assign a port on the Switch to a VLAN based on IEEE 802.1x authentication. The port VLAN settings are fixed and untagged. This will also set the port’s VID. The following table describes the values you need to configure. Note that the bolded values in the table are fixed values as defined in RFC 3580.

Table 77 Supported Tunnel Protocol Attribute

FUNCTION	ATTRIBUTE
VLAN Assignment	Tunnel-Type = VLAN(13)
	Tunnel-Medium-Type = 802(6)
	Tunnel-Private-Group-ID = VLAN ID
	Note: You must also create a VLAN with the specified VID on
	the Switch.

25.3 Supported RADIUS Attributes

Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) attributes are data used to define specific authentication, and accounting elements in a user profile, which is stored on the RADIUS server. This appendix lists the RADIUS attributes supported by the Switch.
