Chapter 2 RADIUS Client Support Overview of In a network with many Avaya switches, it can become difficult to RADIUS track all of the user accounts on each of the switches. You can centralize the user accounts by using a Remote Authentication Dial- In User Service (RADIUS) server.
Page 83
For example: You might use a Realm called AvayaRealm to organize all of the user accounts that can log into Avaya switches in a campus environment. In this campus, there are two teams of network administrators, one team for the North campus and one for the South campus.
Page 84
RADIUS server and a Group name must be set Attributes (VSA) on the Avaya switch. When set, the Group name is sent along with the Access Request message to the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server will send an Access Accept message if the user name, password, and Group name match that of the user account.
Page 85
Login Order of When a user attempts to log into the Avaya switch, the switch will Operations first check the local user accounts for the entered user name and password. If found, the user is logged in using the local settings for that account.

For information on how to set up CBQ queueing, see CBQ” * Note: Avaya recommends that you do not set a port using CBWFQ The class-based weighted fair queueing (CBWFQ) algorithm is a combination of the CBQ and WFQ algorithms. CBWFQ makes more complex management of traffic possible.
Chapter 21 * Note: Avaya recommends that you do not set a port using Burst The CBWFQ algorithm has two burst thresholds that you can set. Thresholds Both of thresholds are set in a number of bytes. Management Traffic The switch uses the following priority queues to forward protocol packets (ARP, VRRP, OSPF, and so on) from the supervisor module: Do not disable these queues.
