Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Generally, a RADIUS server connects to multiple network devices, which can be one vendor's devices or different vendors' devices. If some vendors' devices require the RADIUS server to deliver an attribute to support a specified feature but other vendors' device do not support the delivered attribute, the RADIUS attribute may fail to be parsed.

The device may communicate with RADIUS servers of different vendors. Some RADIUS servers require the device to send some attributes but other RADIUS servers cannot process the attributes. Errors may occur.

The radius-attribute disable command disables RADIUS attributes on the device. You can configure the device to ignore incompatible attributes when receiving RADIUS packets to prevent parsing failures. You can also configure the device to disable RADIUS attributes when sending RADIUS packets. When the device sends RADIUS packets, it does not encapsulate the disabled RADIUS attributes in the RADIUS packets.

Prerequisites

The RADIUS attribute translation function has been enabled using the radius-server attribute translate command.

Precautions

Before disabling RADIUS attributes, run the display radius-attribute command to view the RADIUS attributes supported by the device.
