RADIUS Attributes Assignment
The RADIUS Attributes Assignment on the Switch is used in the following modules: 802.1X (Port-based and Host-
based), MAC-based Access Control, Web-based Access Control (WAC), and Japanese Web-based Access
Control (JWAC).
The description that follows explains the following RADIUS Attributes Assignment types:
•
Ingress/Egress Bandwidth
•
802.1p Default Priority
•
VLAN
•
ACL
To assign
Ingress/Egress bandwidth by RADIUS Server
, the proper parameters should be configured on the
RADIUS Server. The tables below show the parameters for bandwidth.
The parameters of the Vendor-Specific attributes are:
Vendor-Specific Attribute Description
Value
Usage
Vendor-ID
Defines the vendor.
171 (DLINK)
Required
Vendor-Type
Defines the attribute.
2 (for ingress bandwidth)
3 (for egress bandwidth)
Required
Attribute-Specific Field
Used to assign the bandwidth of a port.
Unit (Kbits)
Required
If the user has configured the bandwidth attribute of the RADIUS server (for example, ingress bandwidth 1000Kbps)
and the 802.1X authentication is successful, the device will assign the bandwidth (according to the RADIUS server)
to the port. However, if the user does not configure the bandwidth attribute and authenticates successfully, the
device will not assign any bandwidth to the port. If the bandwidth attribute is configured on the RADIUS server with
a value of “0”, the effective bandwidth will be set “no_limited”, and if the bandwidth is configured less than “0” or
greater than maximum supported value, the bandwidth will be ignored.
To assign
802.1p default priority by RADIUS Server
, the proper parameters should be configured on the
RADIUS Server. The tables below show the parameters for 802.1p default priority.
The parameters of the Vendor-Specific attributes are:
Vendor-Specific Attribute
Description
Value
Usage
Vendor-ID
Defines the vendor.
171 (DLINK)
Required
Vendor-Type
Defines the attribute.
4
Required
Attribute-Specific Field
Used to assign the 802.1p default priority of the port.
0-7
Required
If the user has configured the 802.1p priority attribute of the RADIUS server (for example, priority 7) and the 802.1X,
or MAC-based authentication is successful, the device will assign the 802.1p default priority (according to the
RADIUS server) to the port. However, if the user does not configure the priority attribute and authenticates
successfully, the device will not assign a priority to this port. If the priority attribute is configured on the RADIUS
server is a value out of range (>7), it will not be set to the device.
To assign
VLAN by RADIUS Server
, the proper parameters should be configured on the RADIUS Server. To use
VLAN assignment, RFC3580 defines the following tunnel attributes in RADIUS packets.
The table below shows the parameters for a VLAN:
RADIUS Tunnel Attribute Description
Value
Usage
Tunnel-Type
This attribute indicates the tunneling protocol(s) to be
used (in the case of a tunnel initiator) or the tunneling
protocol in use (in the case of a tunnel terminatior).
13 (VLAN)
Required
Tunnel-Medium-Type
This attribute indicates the transport medium being used. 6 (802)
Required
