RADIUS Vendor-Proprietary Attributes

The IETF draft standard for RADIUS specifies a method for communicating vendor-proprietary information between the network access server and the RADIUS server. However, some vendors have extended the RADIUS attribute set for specific applications. This document provides Cisco IOS XE support information for these vendor-proprietary RADIUS attrubutes.

With ATMP, indicates the name of the connection profile to which the home agent sends all packets.

186

Home-Agent-UDP-Port

Indicates the UDP port number the foreign agent uses to send ATMP messages to the home agent.

187

Multilink-ID

Reports the identification number of the multilink bundle when the session closes. This attribute applies to sessions that are part of a multilink bundle. The Multilink-ID attribute is sent in authentication-response packets.

188

Num-In-Multilink

Reports the number of sessions remaining in a multilink bundle when the session reported in an accounting-stop packet closes. This attribute applies to sessions that are part of a multilink bundle. The Num-In-Multilink attribute is sent in authentication-response packets and in some accounting-request packets.

189

First-Dest

Records the destination IP address of the first packet received after authentication.

190

Pre-Bytes-In

Records the number of input bytes before authentication. The Pre-Bytes-In attribute is sent in accounting-stop records.

191

Pre-Bytes-Out

Records the number of output bytes before authentication. The Pre-Bytes-Out attribute is sent in accounting-stop records.

192

Pre-Paks-In

Records the number of input packets before authentication. The Pre-Paks-In attribute is sent in accounting-stop records.

193

Pre-Paks-Out

Records the number of output packets before authentication. The Pre-Paks-Out attribute is sent in accounting-stop records.

194

Maximum-Time

Specifies the maximum length of time (in seconds) allowed for any session. After the session reaches the time limit, its connection is dropped.

195

Disconnect-Cause

Specifies the reason a connection was taken offline. The Disconnect-Cause attribute is sent in accounting-stop records. This attribute also causes stop records to be generated without first generating start records if disconnection occurs before authentication is performed. See the Vendor-Specific Attributes (VSA) and RADIUS Disconnect-Cause Attribute Values for more information on their meanings.

196

Connect-Progress

Indicates the connection state before the connection is disconnected.

197

Data-Rate

Specifies the average number of bits per second over the course of the connection’s lifetime. The Data-Rate attribute is sent in accounting-stop records.

198

PreSession-Time

Specifies the length of time, in seconds, from when a call first connects to when it completes authentication. The PreSession-Time attribute is sent in accounting-stop records.

199

Token-Idle

Indicates the maximum amount of time (in minutes) a cached token can remain alive between authentications.

201

Require-Auth

Defines whether additional authentication is required for class that has been CLID authenticated.

202

Number-Sessions

Specifies the number of active sessions (per class) reported to the RADIUS accounting server.

203

Authen-Alias

Defines the RADIUS server’s login name during PPP authentication.

204

Token-Expiry

Defines the lifetime of a cached token.

205

Menu-Selector

Defines a string to be used to cue a user to input data.

206

Menu-Item

Specifies a single menu-item for a user-profile. Up to 20 menu items can be assigned per profile.

207

PW-Warntime

(Ascend 5) No description available.

208

PW-Lifetime

Enables you to specify on a per-user basis the number of days that a password is valid.

209

IP-Direct

When you include this attribute in a user’s file entry, a framed route is installed to the routing and bridging tables.

Note 

Packet routing is dependent upon the entire table, not just this newly installed entry. The inclusion of this attribute does not guarantee that all packets should be sent to the specified IP address; thus, this attribute is not fully supported. These attribute limitations occur because the Cisco router cannot bypass all internal routing and bridging tables and send packets to a specified IP address.

210

PPP-VJ-Slot-Comp

Instructs the Cisco router not to use slot compression when sending VJ-compressed packets over a PPP link.

211

PPP-VJ-1172

Instructs PPP to use the 0x0037 value for VJ compression.

212

PPP-Async-Map

Gives the Cisco router the asynchronous control character map for the PPP session. The specified control characters are passed through the PPP link as data and used by applications running over the link.

213

Third-Prompt

Defines a third prompt (after username and password) for additional user input.

214

Send-Secret

Enables an encrypted password to be used in place of a regular password in outdial profiles.

215

Receive-Secret

Enables an encrypted password to be verified by the RADIUS server.

216

IPX-Peer-Mode

(Ascend 5) No description available.

217

IP-Pool-Definition

Defines a pool of addresses using the following format: X a.b.c Z; where X is the pool index number, a.b.c is the pool’s starting IP address, and Z is the number of IP addresses in the pool. For example, 3 10.0.0.1 5 allocates 10.0.0.1 through 10.0.0.5 for dynamic assignment.

218

Assign-IP-Pool

Tells the router to assign the user and IP address from the IP pool.

219

FR-Direct

Defines whether the connection profile operates in Frame Relay redirect mode.

220

FR-Direct-Profile

Defines the name of the Frame Relay profile carrying this connection to the Frame Relay switch.

221

FR-Direct-DLCI

Indicates the DLCI carrying this connection to the Frame Relay switch.

222

Handle-IPX

Indicates how NCP watchdog requests will be handled.

223

Netware-Timeout

Defines, in minutes, how long the RADIUS server responds to NCP watchdog packets.

224

IPX-Alias

Allows you to define an alias for IPX routers requiring numbered interfaces.

225

Metric

No description available.

226

PRI-Number-Type

No description available.

227

Dial-Number

Defines the number to dial.

228

Allows you to enable IPX routing.

230

Bridge

No description available.

231

Send-Auth

Defines the protocol to use (PAP or CHAP) for username-password authentication following CLID authentication.

232

Send-Passwd

Enables the RADIUS server to specify the password that is sent to the remote end of a connection on outgoing calls.

233

Link-Compression

Defines whether to turn on or turn off “stac” compression over a PPP link.

Link compression is defined as a numeric value as follows:

  • 0: None

  • 1: Stac

  • 2: Stac-Draft-9

  • 3: MS-Stac

234

Target-Util

Specifies the load-threshold percentage value for bringing up an additional channel when PPP multilink is defined.

235

Maximum-Channels

Specifies allowed/allocatable maximum number of channels.

236

Data-Filter

Defines per-user IP data filters. These filters are retrieved only when a call is placed using a RADIUS outgoing profile or answered using a RADIUS incoming profile. Filter entries are applied on a first-match basis; therefore, the order in which filter entries are entered is important.

243

Call-Filter

Defines per-user IP data filters. On a Cisco router, this attribute is identical to the Data-Filter attribute.

244

RADIUS Vendor-Proprietary Attributes

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1

The IETF draft standard for RADIUS specifies a method for communicating vendor-proprietary information between the network access server and the RADIUS server. However, some vendors have extended the RADIUS attribute set for specific applications. This document provides Cisco IOS XE support information for these vendor-proprietary RADIUS attrubutes.

In Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1, this feature was introduced on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers.
