Configuring The Radius Server For Cos Services; Viewing The Currently Active Per-Port Cos Configuration Specified By A Radius Server - ProCurve 2610 Manual

Configuring the RADIUS Server for
CoS Services
This section provides general guidelines for configuring a RADIUS server to
dynamically apply CoS (Class of Service) for inbound traffic on ports support­
ing authenticated clients. To configure support for these services on a specific
RADIUS server application, refer to the documentation provided with the
application. (If multiple clients are authenticated on a port where inbound
CoS values have been imposed by a RADIUS server, the CoS applied to all
clients on the port are those that are assigned by RADIUS for the most recently
authenticated client. Refer to the Note on page 6-5.)
