sponds to one that was accepted and, if that is the case, it responds with an
Access-Accept message containing the profile number as an attribute. The mes-
sage can also contain the type of firmware (MV, LV or EU), but it is recommen-
ded to associate this information with the profile by means of the parameter
PROFILE_FWTYPE. Otherwise, the server replies with a RADIUS Access-Reject
message and the authentication fails.
Once authentication is achieved, the slave is authorized and a QoS and VLAN/
OVLAN configuration takes place between the master and slave. The master
uses the profile number to get these parameters. The slave uses the parameters
inside the downloaded autoconfiguration file. The slave node downloads the
file during its autoconfiguration process, after the RADIUS request on the mas-
ter-side has been successful.
12.11.3 Working without RADIUS Authentication
If there is no RADIUS authentication, two ways of operation are possible.
The first one is ‘NO AUTHENTICATION’. The master will configure a default QoS
and VLAN/OVLAN configuration (the
invited profile) for the slave.
The other one is the use of an ‘AUTHORIZATION LIST’. With
‘ACCESSP_AUTHLIST_x’, up to 128 different users can be added with their rela-
ted profiles and fw_type. The user is searched for in that list, and if an entry
coincides with the new user, the QoS and VLAN/OVLAN configuration related to
that entry is used for the new user. Otherwise, the user is rejected.
12.12 DHCP Support
12.12.1 DHCP Client
The nodes perform a DHCP request with extended custom options. Not only is
the basic IP configuration (IP address, netmask and gateway) requested, but the
client also requests three custom options in order to obtain the autoconfigura-
tion file:
쎲
tftp-server-name : String with the IP address of the TFTP server.
쎲
extensions-path-name : String with the path and file name of the autocon-
figuration file inside the TFTP server.
쎲
ifcp-code : 32-bit integer that represents IFCP behaviour:
쑗
0 : Boot without VLANs and skip IFCP;
쑗
1 : Keep on requesting IFCP (does nothing);
