The 8950 AAA server supports session provisioning by returning reply attributes to the
NAS upon a successful authentication. Reply attributes, stored in a attribute set, or
possibly a user profile, provide additional parameters the NAS needs to complete an
access request. By including appropriate reply attributes in a policy, a variety of
connection configurations can be applied. For example, a user can be assigned a specific
IP addresses, IP header compression can be turned on or off, or a time limit can be
assigned to the connection. Table 9-2 lists attributes allowed in an Access-Accept that are
commonly used as reply attributes.
Time-Of-Day Define allowed access times by
day-of-week and/or hour-of-day.
Time-Of-Day = Wk0800-
