Configuring RADIUS Server Support for Switch Services
RADIUS Server Configuration for Per-Port CoS (802.1p Priority) and Rate-Limiting
RADIUS Server Configuration for
Per-Port CoS (802.1p Priority) and Rate-
Limiting
This section provides general guidelines for configuring a RADIUS server to
dynamically apply CoS (Class of Service) and Rate-Limiting for inbound traffic
on ports supporting authenticated clients. To configure support for these
services on a specific RADIUS server application, refer to the documentation
provided with the application. (If multiple clients are authenticated on a port
where inbound CoS and Rate-Limiting values have been imposed by a RADIUS
server, the CoS and Rate-Limiting applied to all clients on the port are those
that are assigned by RADIUS for the most recently authenticated client.
Service Control Method and Operating Notes:
802.1p (CoS) Priority
Assignments on
Inbound Traffic
This feature assigns a
RADIUS-specified
802.1p priority to all
inbound packets
received on a port
supporting an
authenticated client.
Vendor-Specific Attribute configured in the RADIUS server.
ProCurve (HP) vendor-specific ID:11
VSA: 40 (string = HP)
Setting: HP-COS = xxxxxxxx where:
x = desired 802.1p priority
Note: This is typically an eight-octet field. Enter the same x-value
in all eight octets
Requires a port-access (802.1X Web Auth, or MAC Auth)
authentication method configured on the client’s port on the ProCurve
switch.
For more on 802.1p priority levels, refer to the section titled
“Overview” in the “Quality of Service (QoS)” chapter of the Advanced
Traffic Management Guide for your switch.
