A company can create Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAs) to expand the functionality of a RADIUS server. The Switch supports VSAs that allow you to perform the following actions based on user authentication: • Limit bandwidth on incoming or outgoing traffic for the port the user connects to. • Assign account privilege levels (See Section 45.7 on page 336 for more information on account privilege levels) for the authenticated user. The VSAs are composed of the following: • Vendor-ID: An identification number assigned to the company by the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority). ZyXEL's vendor ID is 890. • Vendor-Type: A vendor specified attribute, identifying the setting you want to modify. • Vendor-data: A value you want to assign to the setting. " Refer to the documentation that comes with your RADIUS server on how to configure VSAs for users authenticating via the RADIUS server. The following table describes the VSAs supported on the Switch. Table 64 Supported VSAs FUNCTION Ingress Bandwidth Assignment ATTRIBUTE Vendor-Id = 890 Vendor-Type = 1 Vendor-data = ingress rate (Kbps in decimal format) ES-4124 User's Guide 199
