Configuring RADIUS Server Support for Switch Services
RADIUS Server Configuration for CoS (802.1p Priority) and Rate-Limiting
Viewing the Currently Active Per-Port CoS and Rate-
Limiting Configuration Specified by a RADIUS Server
While a RADIUS-assigned client session is active on a given port, any RADIUS-
imposed values for the settings listed in table 7-5 are applied as shown:
Table 7-5. Application of RADIUS-Assigned Values
Dynamic RADIUS
Assignment Options
Static Per-Port Setting Options Application of Dynamic
RADIUS Assignment
802.1p Priority (CoS) qos priority < 0 - 7 > Applies per-client; that is,
only to client whose
authentication triggered the
assignment. (Up to 32 clients
supported per-port.)
Inbound (Ingress)
Rate-Limiting
rate-limit < all | bcast | icmp | mcast > in
< kbps | percent >
Outbound (Egress)
Rate-Limiting
rate-limit < all | bcast | icmp | mcast >
out < kbps | percent >
Applies per-port; that is, to all
clients on the port.*
*Uses the value assigned to the port by the most recent instance of client authentication.
Syntax: show port-access
web-based clients [ port-list ] detail
mac-based clients [ port-list ] detail
authenticator clients [ port-list ] detail
If the switch receives an 802.1p priority (CoS) and/or rate-
limit setting(s) from a RADIUS server as the result of a client
authentication on a port, the above commands display the
assigned values while the client’s session is active. When the
session ends, the values that client are no longer displayed.
The priority and inbound (ingress) rate-limit are applied
only to the inbound traffic of the client whose authentication
triggered the assignment. The outbound (egress) rate-limit
applies to all outbound traffic on the port.
