4.8.3.3 Cisco Secure ACS Example
Cisco Secure ACS is a widely-used fee-based RADIUS and TACAC server available from http://www.cisco.com. It comes
in platform-specific versions, including various Windows versions.
Note: The NMS is the RADIUS client, which is known as the NAS in the RFC, and is called the AAA Client in
Cisco terminology.
Note: Whereas FreeRADIUS defines VSAs in their
dictionary files, Cisco defines VSAs in a RADIUS Vendor/
VSA import file.
Note: Whereas FreeRADIUS defines users and clients in simple configuration files, Cisco uses an extensive
web-enabled graphical user interface.
To configure Cisco Secure ACS for the NMS, perform the following:
1. To configure the VSA file, perform the following:
1. Create a RADIUS Vendor/VSA import file, for example, c:\ACS_Data\allied-telesis.ini, containing the
VSA definition:
[User Defined Vendor]
Name=Allied-Telesis
IETF Code=207
VSA 1=ATI-avnms-group
[ATI-avnms-group]
Type=STRING
Profile=OUT
