Vendors
Vendors are manufacturers of NAS equipment. ClearPass Guest provides a list of manufacturers but you are
able to add to this list.
Vendor-specific attributes as defined in RFC 2865 can be used to configure specific options related to a
particular vendor’s equipment.
Creating a New Vendor
A new vendor may be added to the dictionary by clicking the Create Vendor tab at the top of the
Dictionary list view.
You are required to enter the Vendor Name. This name cannot already exist in the dictionary. Spaces are not
permitted in the Vendor Name. By convention, hyphens are used in vendor and attribute names instead of
spaces.
You are required to enter the Vendor Number. This is the IANA Private Enterprise Code assigned to this
vendor. It is unique to this vendor and is used by the RADIUS protocol. For the current mapping of vendor
names to IANA Private Enterprise Codes, refer to the IANA Web site:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/
enterprise-numbers .
The Vendor Number must be less than or equal t.o 65535
Once you have completed the form, click the Create Vendor button to add this vendor to the dictionary.
Edit Vendor
You are able to change the Vendor’s name or number with the Ed it Vendor icon link. This allows you to
change the vendor name or number
Delete Vendor
You are able to delete any vendors that you have added to the dictionary. Use the Delete Vendor icon
link for this. Deleting a vendor will also delete all vendor-specific attributes and attribute values for that
vendor.
You will be prompted to confirm the delete operation before it takes place.
Vendors with a lock symbol ( ) next to their name are standard RADIUS dictionary entries and cannot be
deleted.
Export Vendor
The selected vendor’s attributes and values can be exp orted as a text file in RADIUS dictionary format by
clicking the
Export Vendor icon link.
