 Chapter 25 AAA

MGS3700-12C User’s Guide

You can configure tunnel protocol attributes on the RADIUS server (refer to your 
RADIUS server documentation) to assign a port on the Switch to a VLAN based on 
IEEE 802.1x authentication. The port VLAN settings are fixed and untagged. This 
will also set the port’s VID. The following table describes the values you need to 
configure. Note that the bolded values in the table are fixed values as defined in 
RFC 3580. 

Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) attributes are data used to 
define specific authentication, and accounting elements in a user profile, which is 
stored on the RADIUS server. This appendix lists the RADIUS attributes supported 
by the Switch.

Egress Bandwidth 
Assignment

Vendor-Id = 890 

Vendor-Type = 2 

Vendor-data = 

egress rate (Kbps in decimal format) 

Privilege 
Assignment 

Vendor-ID = 890 

Vendor-Type = 3 

Vendor-Data = "shell:priv-lvl=N" 

or

Vendor-ID = 9 

(CISCO)

Vendor-Type = 1 

(CISCO-AVPAIR)

Vendor-Data = "shell:priv-lvl=N" 

where 

N

 is a privilege level (from 0 to 14). 

Note: If you set the privilege level of a login account differently 

on the RADIUS server(s) and the Switch, the user is 
assigned a privilege level from the database (RADIUS or 
local) the Switch uses first for user authentication. 

Table 76   Supported VSAs 

Table 77   Supported Tunnel Protocol Attribute

VLAN Assignment

Tunnel-Type = VLAN(13)

Tunnel-Medium-Type = 802(6)

Tunnel-Private-Group-ID = 

VLAN ID 

Note: You must also create a VLAN with the specified VID on 

the Switch.
