RADIUS Attributes
RADIUS Attributes Reference
Framed-Protocol (7)
Specifies the link-level protocol type permitted for the user.
Usage: Supported values are:
•
PPP - The user accessing the RAC can use PPP or MP. If any
other type of framing is in use, the call is rejected.
•
SLIP
•
ARAP
Unsupported values are: Gandalf SL/MLP, IPX/SLIP
When the user is already running a framed protocol (that is, Service-Type
(6) is Framed [2]), the RAC sends the Framed-Protocol attribute value
in the Access-Request as a hint to the RADIUS server. The server returns
the authorized framed service in the Access-Response. If the returned
value does not match the protocol in use, the RAC rejects the user.
When the user is running a framed protocol and the server does not return
the Framed-Protocol attribute, the RAC allows the use of any framed
protocol. However, if this attribute is not returned when the user is
connected to the CLI and Service-Type (6) is Framed [2], the RAC leaves
the user at the CLI. The user can then run SLIP, PPP, or ARAP by issuing
the CLI command slip, ppp, or arap.
Multiple Instances Allowed: No.
Dependencies: This attribute is used only in conjunction with a Service-
Type (6) of Framed [2].
