RADIUS Server Configuration for Per-Port CoS (802.1p Priority) and Rate-Limiting

RADIUS Server Configuration for
Per-Port CoS (802.1p Priority) and Rate-
Limiting
This section provides general guidelines for configuring a RADIUS server to
dynamically apply CoS (Class of Service) and Rate-Limiting for inbound traffic
on ports supporting 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 and Rate-Limiting values have been imposed by a RADIUS
server, the CoS and Rate-Limiting applied to all clients on the port are those
that are assigned by RADIUS for the most recently authenticated client.
