If the user has configured the 802.1p priority attribute of the RADIUS server (for example, priority 7)
and the 802.1X, or Host-based authentication is successful, the device will assign the 802.1p
default priority (according to the RADIUS server) to the port. However, if the user does not
configure the priority attribute and authenticates successfully, the device will not assign a priority to
this port. If the priority attribute is configured on the RADIUS server is a value out of range (>7), it
will not be set to the device.
To assign VLAN by RADIUS Server, the proper parameters should be configured on the RADIUS
Server. To use VLAN assignment, RFC3580 defines the following tunnel attributes in RADIUS
packets.
The table below shows the parameters for a VLAN:
This attribute indicates the tunneling protocol(s)
to be used (in the case of a tunnel initiator) or
the tunneling protocol in use (in the case of a
Tunnel-Medium-Type This attribute indicates the transport medium
This attribute indicates group ID for a particular
tunneled session.
A summary of the Tunnel-Private-Group-ID Attribute format is shown below.

The table below shows the definition of Tag field (different with RFC 2868):
A tag field of greater than 0x1F is
interpreted as the first octet of the
following field.
(0x00, 0x03 ~ 0x1F,
>0x1F)
1. When the switch receives the
VLAN setting string, it will think it is
the VLAN ID first. In other words, the
switch will check all existed VLAN ID
and check if there is one matched.
2. If the switch can find one matched,
it will move to that VLAN.
3. If the switch can not find the
matched VLAN ID, it will think the
VLAN setting string as a “VLAN
Name”.
4. Then it will check that it can find
out a matched VLAN Name.
