Overriding Or Adding Attributes Locally With A Location Policy - Nortel 2360 Configuration Manual

Configuring AAA for network users 537
Overriding or adding attributes locally with a location
policy
During the login process, the AAA authorization process is started immediately after clients are authenticated to use the
WSS. During authorization, WSS Software assigns the user to a VLAN and applies optional user attributes, such as a
session timeout value and one or more security ACL filters.
A location policy is a set of rules that enables you to locally set or change authorization attributes for a user after the user
is authorized by AAA, without making changes to the AAA server. For example, you might want to enforce VLAN
membership and security ACL policies on a particular WSS based on a client's organization or physical location, or
assign a VLAN to users who have no AAA assignment. For these situations, you can configure the location policy on the
switch.
You can use a location policy to locally set or change the Filter-Id and VLAN-Name authorization attributes obtained
from AAA.
