Configuring the RADIUS Server
This section provides general guidelines for configuring a RADIUS server to
specify CoS (Class of Service) and Rate-Limiting for inbound traffic on ports
supporting authenticated clients. To configure support for these services on
a specific RADIUS server application, refer to the documentation provided
with the application. (Where multiple clients are authenticated on a port
where inbound CoS and Rate-Limiting values have been imposed by a RADIUS
server, the CoS and Rate-Limiting 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
6-24.)
