Nortel WLAN—Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide
Appendix A: Supported RADIUS
attributes
Nortel WLAN Security Switch 2300 Series (WSS Software) supports the standard and extended RADIUS authentication
and accounting attributes listed in Table 1 on page 698. Also supported are Nortel vendor-specific attributes (VSAs),
listed in Table 2 on page 702.
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 WSS Software 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
• RFC 2869, RADIUS Extensions
• draft-congdon-radius-8021x-29.txt (IEEE 802.1X RADIUS Usage Guidelines)
Supported standard and extended attributes
The RADIUS attributes shown in Table 1 are sent by WSSs to RADIUS servers during authentication and accounting.
