equipment whose MAC address is a valid RADIUS user can be used by anyone.
Also, only the MD5-Challenge method is supported. The maximum number of clients
that can be attached to a port can be limited using the Port Security Limit Control
functionality.
RADIUS-Assigned QoS Enabled
When RADIUS-Assigned QoS is both globally enabled and enabled (checked) on a
given port, the switch reacts to QoS Class information carried in the RADIUS
Access-Accept packet transmitted by the RADIUS server when a supplicant is
successfully authenticated. If present and valid, traffic received on the supplicant's
port will be classified to the given QoS Class. If (re-)authentication fails or the
RADIUS Access-Accept packet no longer carries a QoS Class or it's invalid, or the
supplicant is otherwise no longer present on the port, the port's QoS Class is
immediately reverted to the original QoS Class (which may be changed by the
administrator in the meanwhile without affecting the RADIUS-assigned).
This option is only available for single-client modes, i.e.
Port-based 802.1X
Single 802.1X0
RADIUS attributes used in identifying a QoS Class:
The User-Priority-Table attribute defined in RFC4675 forms the basis for identifying
the QoS Class in an Access-Accept packet.
Only the first occurrence of the attribute in the packet will be considered, and to be
valid, it must follow this rule:
All 8 octets in the attribute's value must be identical and consist of ASCII
characters in the range '0' - '3', which translates into the desired QoS Class in
the range [0; 3].
