5.7 RADIUS Based SU QoS Configuration
RADIUS based QoS configuration enables you to configure QoS parameters on a SU through RADIUS Server. This way of
configuring QoS parameters, reduces the task of manually configuring QoS parameters on each SU available on the network.
Explained below is the process followed to configure QoS parameters on a SU from a RADIUS Server.
Figure 5-52 RADIUS Based QoS Configuration
To establish a connection with the BSU, the SU sends a registration request to BSU. On receiving the registration request, the
BSU sends an Access request along with the SU MAC address, to the RADIUS Server. The RADIUS Server then checks the
authentication of the user. If it is an authenticated user, it sends an Access-Accept response along with Vendor assigned QoS
parameter’s value to the BSU. On receiving the response, the BSU sends the response to the SU. The received QoS parameters
are then applied on the SU.
Tabulated below are the vendor specific attributes:
Name of the attribute Vendor Attribute Attribute Value
Assigned Format
Attribute
Number
QoS Class Index 34 Decimal 1 - 8
QoS Class SU Table Status 35 Decimal 1 - Enable / 2 - Disable
:
• RADIUS Based QoS configuration takes priority over Local QoS configuration.
• When the link is down, the configuration received from the RADIUS is lost.
