Transferred attributes

As previously mentioned, your device transmits far more than just the username and password in a RADIUS request. RADIUS servers might choose to completely ignore these additional attributes, or only use a subset of these attributes. Many of these attributes are used for access to the server using dial-in, and are defined as standard attributes in the RADIUS RFCs. However, some important information for hotspot operation can not be represented with standard attributes. These additional attributes are manufacturer-specific with the manufacturer code 2356 (LANCOM Systems GmbH).

Table 1. Overview of the RADIUS attributes transmitted by the device to the authentication server
ID Name Meaning Possible values in LCOS
1 User name The name entered by the user.  
2 User-Password The password entered by the user.  
4 NAS-IP-Address IP address of your device <IPv4 address of the device>
6 Service-Type Type of service that the user requested. The value "1" stands for Login.  
8 Framed-IP-Address Specifies the IP address that is assigned to the client. <IP address of the client>
30 Called-Station-Id MAC address of your device <nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn>
31 Calling-Station-Id MAC address of the client The address is given byte-wise in hexadecimal notation with separators. <nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn>
32 NAS identifier Name of your device, if configured. <Device-Name>
61 NAS-Port-Type Type of physical port over which a user had requested authentication.
  • ID 19 denotes clients from WLAN.
  • ID 15 denotes clients from Ethernet.
87 NAS-Port-Id Description of the interface over which the client is connected to your device. This may be a physical and a logical interface.
Note: Consider that more than one client may be connected to one interface at a time, so that, unlike dial-in servers, port numbers are not unique for clients.
For example
  • LAN-1
  • WLAN-1-5
  • WLC-TUNNEL-27
