Configuring the RADIUS Server for CoS Services
Configuring the RADIUS Server for
CoS Services
This section provides general guidelines for configuring a RADIUS server to
dynamically apply CoS (Class of Service) for inbound traffic on ports support-
ing 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 values have been imposed by a RADIUS server, the CoS applied to all
clients on the port are those that are assigned by RADIUS for the most recently
authenticated client. Refer to the Note on page 6-5.)
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.
Viewing the Currently Active Per-Port CoS
Configuration Specified by a RADIUS Server
While a port-access authenticated client session is active, any RADIUS-
imposed port settings override their counterparts in the port’s configuration.
