â– Vendor-specific RADIUS attributes: RADIUS attributes that are specific to the device
(company) are referred to as Vendor-specific attributes (VSA). The CDR of VSAs are sent with
a general RADIUS ID of 26 to indicate that they are vendor-specific (non-standard). In addition,
the company's registered vendor ID (as registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority or IANA) is also included in the packet. The device's default vendor ID is 5003, which
can be changed (see Configuring the RADIUS Vendor ID). The VSA ID is also included in the
packet.
