Configuring the IP address of the security policy server
The core of the EAD solution is integration and cooperation, and the security policy server is the
management and control center. Using a collection of software, the security policy server provides
functions such as user management, security policy management, security status assessment, security
cooperation control, and security event audit.
The NAS checks the validity of received control packets and accepts only control packets from known
servers. To use a security policy server that is independent of the AAA servers, you must configure the IP
address of the security policy server on the NAS. To implement all EAD functions, configure both the IP
address of the iMC security policy server and that of the iMC configuration platform on the NAS.
Follow these steps to configure the IP address of the security policy server for a scheme:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Enter RADIUS scheme view radius scheme radius-scheme-name —
Specify a security policy server security-policy-server ip-address
Required
No security policy server is
specified by default
Configuring interpretation of RADIUS class attribute as CAR parameters
According to RFC 2865, a RADIUS server assigns the RADIUS class attribute (attribute 25) to a RADIUS
client. However, the RFC only requires the RADIUS client to send the attribute to the accounting server on
an “as is” basis; it does not require the RADIUS client to interpret the attribute. Some RADIUS servers use
the class attribute to deliver the assigned committed access rate (CAR) parameters. In this case, the
switch must interpret the attribute as the CAR parameters to implement user-based traffic monitoring and
controlling.
Follow these steps to configure the switch to interpret the RADIUS class attribute as CAR parameters:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Enter RADIUS scheme view
radius scheme
radius-scheme-name
—
Interpret the class attribute as CAR
parameters
attribute 25 car
Required
Be default, RADIUS attribute 25 is not
interpreted as CAR parameters.
NOTE:
W
hether interpretation of RADIUS class attribute as CAR parameters is supported depends on two factors:
• Whether the switch supports CAR parameters assignment.
• Whether the RADIUS server supports assigning CAR parameters through the class attribute.
Enabling the trap function for RADIUS
With the trap function, a NAS sends a trap message when either of the following events occurs:
• The status of a RADIUS server changes. If a NAS receives no response to an accounting or
authentication request before the specified maximum number of RADIUS request transmission
attempts is exceeded, it considers the server unreachable, sets the status of the server to block and
