9.1.4.2  Vendor Specific Attribute
With RADIUS authentication, you can define vendor specific attributes (VSAs) in addition to 
the set of standard RADIUS attributes defined in RFC 2865 and RFC 2866. A VSA is an 
attribute-value pair that is sent between a RADIUS server and the VSG. It is necessary you 
define the VSAs on the RADIUS sever if you want the VSG to perform the following:
• Limit Download bandwidth per subscriber
• Limit Upload bandwidth per subscriber
• Limit Total traffic bandwidth allowed per subscriber 
• Specify advertising web site per subscriber 
• Enable/disable SMTP redirect  
Note: Before you can make use of these functions on the VSG, configure the 
proprietary VSAs on the RADIUS server. Refer to the documentation that 
comes with your RADIUS server for more information. 
See 
 for more information on the VSAs.
