8 Specify the vendor for your wireless AP. To specify the vendor by selecting the name from the list,
click Select from list, and then select the vendor of the wireless AP for which you are configuring
the VSA. If the vendor is not listed, specify the vendor by typing the vendor code.

see your wireless AP documentation.
11 If your attribute conforms, click Yes. It conforms, and then click Configure Attribute. In Vendor-
assigned attribute number, type the number assigned to the attribute (this should be an integer from
0 to 255). In Attribute format, specify the format for the attribute, and then in Attribute value, type
the value you are assigning to the attribute.

In Hexadecimal attribute value, type the value for the attribute.
Best Practice
Investigate whether the wireless APs need VSAs and configure them during the configuration of the
remote access policy. If you configure the VSAs after you configure the wireless APs, you have to re-
synchronize the configuration of the primary IAS server to the secondary IAS server.
How to configure VSAs in the IAS server (Example)
1 Open Internet Authentication Service/Remote Access Policy.
2 Select the policy or create a new one. To create a new one:
Right-click Remote Access Policies, and then select New Remote Access Policy. The New
