Supported RADIUS Attributes
D-Link’s Mobility System Software (MSS) supports the standard and extended RADIUS
authentication and accounting attributes listed at the bottom.
An attribute is sent to RADIUS accounting only if the table listing it shows
Yes
or
Optional
in
the column marked
Sent in Accounting-Request
for the attribute
and
the attribute is applied
to the client’s session configuration. Attribute values have the following characteristics unless
otherwise stated:
• Strings can contain a maximum of 253 characters.
• Integers are 4 bytes.
• IP addresses are 4 bytes.
The RADIUS attributes MSS supports are based on these IETF RFCs and drafts:
• RFC 2865,
Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS)
• RFC 2866,
RADIUS Accounting
• RFC 2868,
RADIUS Attributes for Tunnel Protocol Support
