Chapter 3. Standard RADIUS Attributes

In this chapter, I'll look at the global set of standard RADIUS attributes as per the RADIUS RFC. There are 63 attributes defined in the RFC that provide support and configuration options for everything from connection type, virtual terminals, and connect/session time limits to packet filtering and caller-return services. This chapter presents these attributes in alphabetical order.

One note: this chapter covers only the attributes based on the authentication and authorization processes of a RADIUS transaction, which are attributes 1-39 and 60-63. Attributes 40-59 are covered in Chapter 4.
