Authentication for a VNS
7.3.1 Vendor Specific Attributes
In addition to the standard RADIUS message, you can include Vendor Specific Attributes
(VSAs). The Controller, Access Points and Convergence Software authentication mechanism
provides six VSAs for RADIUS and other authentication mechanisms.
The first five of these VSAs provide information on the identify of the specific Wireless AP that
is handling the wireless device, enabling the provision of location-based services.
The RADIUS message also includes RADIUS attributes Called-Station-Id and Calling-Station-
Id in order to include the MAC address of the wireless device.
