25.6.1 Ve ndo r Spe c ific Attrib ute
RFC 2865 standard specifies a method for sending vendor-specific information between a RADIUS server
and a network access device (for example, the Switch). A company can create Vendor Specific
Attributes (VSAs) to expand the functionality of a RADIUS server.
The Switch supports VSAs that allow you to perform the following actions based on user authentication:
• Limit bandwidth on incoming or outgoing traffic for the port the user connects to.

information to the first accounting server and if it does not get a response from the accounting
server then it tries the second accounting server.
The Switch supports two modes of recording login events. Select:

session.
•
