Vendor-Specific Attributes for UPAM or ClearPass
The OmniSwitch RADIUS client supports attribute 26, which includes a vendor ID and some additional
sub-attributes called subtypes. The vendor ID and the subtypes collectively are called Vendor Specific
Attributes (VSAs).
For UPAM or ClearPass integration, the VSA dictionary must be updated with the "Alcatel-Redirect-
URL" and the “Alcatel-Access-Policy-List” VSA that can be imported into the UPAM or ClearPass
server. The following VSAs can be imported to the UPAM or ClearPass server:
Num. ClearPass/RADIUS VSA Type Description
6 Alcatel-Lucent-Port-Desc string Description of the port. This attribute is currently
defined in the Alcatel dictionary as:
RADIUS attribute type = 26 (VSA)
VSA Vendor ID = 800
VSA Type = 26
VSA format = string
This attribute is included in all RADIUS messages
sent by the OmniSwitch (Access-Request,
Accounting-Request Start, Accounting-Request
Interim and Accounting-Request Stop).The attribute
is set with the alias configured for the port. When
the alias is not set, VSA will be an empty string.
100 Alcatel-Access-Policy-List string Configures UPAM or ClearPass to the policy list
associated with the UNP.
101 Alcatel-Redirect-URL string Configures UPAM or ClearPass to send redirection
URL as part of RADIUS response redirecting the
user Web traffic.
