Vendor-Specific Attributes for RADIUS

The Alcatel-Lucent RADIUS client supports attribute 26, which includes a vendor ID and some addi-
tional sub-attributes called subtypes. The vendor ID and the subtypes collectively are called Vendor
Specific Attributes (VSAs). Alcatel-Lucent, through partnering arrangements, has included these VSAs in
some vendors' RADIUS server configurations.
The attribute subtypes are defined in the server's dictionary file. If you are using single authority mode,
the first VSA subtype, Alcatel-Lucent-Auth-Vlan, must be defined on the server for each authenticated
VLAN. Alcatel-Lucent's vendor ID is 800 (SMI Network Management Private Enterprise Code).
The following are VSAs for RADIUS servers:
Num. RADIUS VSA
1 Alcatel-Lucent-Auth-Group
2 Alcatel-Lucent-Slot-Port
3 Alcatel-Lucent-Time-of-Day
4 Alcatel-Lucent-Client-IP-

5 Alcatel-Lucent-Group-Desc
6 Alcatel-Lucent-Port-Desc
8 Alcatel-Lucent-Auth-Group-

9 Alcatel-Lucent-Asa-Access

40 Alcatel-Lucent-Acce-Priv-F-

41 Alcatel-Lucent-Acce-Priv-F-
W1
42 Alcatel-Lucent-Acce-Priv-F-
W2
The Alcatel-Lucent-Auth-Group attribute is used for Ethernet II only. If a different protocol, or more than
one protocol is required, use the Alcatel-Lucent-Auth-Group-Protocol attribute instead. For example:
Alcatel-Lucent-Auth-Group-Protocol 23: IP_E2 IP_SNAP
Alcatel-Lucent-Auth-Group-Protocol 24: IPX_E2
In this example, authenticated users on VLAN 23 may use Ethernet II or SNAP encapsulation. Authenti-
cated users on VLAN 24 may use IPX with Ethernet II.
