Framed-Protocol (7). Bay Networks Radius

RADIUS Attributes

Framed-Protocol (7)

Specifies the link-level protocol type permitted for the user.

Usage: Supported values are:

• PPP - The user accessing the RAC can use PPP or MP. If any other type of framing is in use, the call is rejected.

• SLIP

• ARAP

Unsupported values are: Gandalf SL/MLP, IPX/SLIP

When the user is already running a framed protocol (that is, Service-Type

(6) is Framed [2]), the RAC sends the Framed-Protocol attribute value in the Access-Request as a hint to the RADIUS server. The server returns the authorized framed service in the Access-Response. If the returned value does not match the protocol in use, the RAC rejects the user.

When the user is running a framed protocol and the server does not return the Framed-Protocol attribute, the RAC allows the use of any framed protocol. However, if this attribute is not returned when the user is connected to the CLI and Service-Type (6) is Framed [2], the RAC leaves the user at the CLI. The user can then run SLIP, PPP, or ARAP by issuing the CLI command slip, ppp, or arap.

Multiple Instances Allowed: No.

Dependencies: This attribute is used only in conjunction with a Service-

Type (6) of Framed [2].
