YPE
Specify the type of RADIUS implementation: Cabletron implementation or RFC2138
implementation. For preexisting systems upgraded to UAA 7.3 software, the default is Cabletron
implementation. For new systems shipped with 7.3 software, the default is RFC2138.

NFORMATION
The Cabletron RADIUS implementation allows the CyberSWITCH to perform device lookups in
RADIUS using MAC addresses, IP addresses, and other additional methods so that it can make
outbound calls using RADIUS. However, this implementation does not conform to RFC2138, in
which these “special” lookups are not permitted. The CyberSWITCH now provides an alternative
implementation to conform to the RFC2138 standard. This RFC2138 option disables RADIUS
lookups for outbound calls.

This feature is specific to
Terminal Mode
configurations. Terminal Mode connections require both
device-level + user-level security configurations. With the Dynamic Device Option, you no longer
need to configure separate devices for each individual user. You may configure a single default
device which will apply to every user dialing in and authenticating with RADIUS, ACE, or
TACACS user-level security.
