Description
Received in Access-Accept Packet by the AP during
Authentication and sent back as-is during Re-Authentication.
Received in Access-Accept Packet by the AP during
Authentication and back as in Accounting Packets.
If the RADIUS server does not send a Session-Timeout, the AP
will set the subscriber expiration time to 0, which means
indefinite access.
The Termination Action attribute defines how the
Session-Timeout attribute will be interpreted. If the Termination
Action is DEFAULT, then the session is terminated on expiration
of the Session-Timeout time interval. If Termination Action is
RADIUS-Request, then re-authentication is performed when the
session expires.
If the RADIUS server sends a Session-Timeout, the value
specified by the Session-Timeout attribute will take precedence
over the configured Authorization Lifetime value.
Valid values are: Default (0), RADIUS-Request (1)
The Termination Action attribute defines how the
Session-Timeout attribute will be interpreted. If the Termination
Action is DEFAULT, then the session is terminated on expiration
of the Session-Timeout time interval. If Termination Action is
RADIUS-Request, then re-authentication is performed when the
session expires.
The AP internally maintains the Idle-Timeout attribute obtained
for each of the users during their authentication process, and
uses this time interval in place of accounting inactivity time for
timing out clients.
MAC address of the client being authenticated.
