Vendor-specific attributes (VSAs) enable the server to recognize RADIUS clients. The Passport 8000 Series software supports BaySecure Access Control (BSAC*) and the Merit Network servers. To use these servers, you must first obtain the software for the server you will use. Also, you must make changes to one or more configuration files for these servers. For detailed information about the changes that must be made for the BSAC server, refer to Configuring and Managing Security.
The Nortel Networks vendor ID is 1584, as allocated by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. Use this ID in the header when using VSAs. If you're using a third-party RADIUS server and need to modify the dictionary files, you must use the following vendor-specific attribute format for CLI commands:
1 1 2 2+x
+----+----+----------------+----------------------------------------+
|type|len | Vendor-Id | value (string) |
| | | | |
+----+----+----------------+----------------------------------------+
|
|
1 1 v x
+----+----+------------------------------+
|type|len | value (cli-command) |
| | | |
+----+----+------------------------------+
If you do not have a Nortel Networks server, use the RADIUS dictionary file as a reference to change your existing RADIUS dictionaries. Because this file is in the format of some popular RADIUS servers, you may be able to use it as a direct replacement. However, you should review the dependencies and make a decision on how to apply the differences.
