Attributes

In Disconnect messsage requests and CoA-Request packets, certain attributes are used to uniquely identify the NAS as well as user sessions on the NAS.

The combination of NAS and session identification attributes included in a CoA-request or a disconnect-message request must match at least one session in order for a request to be successful; otherwise, a disconnect-Nak or CoA-Nak is sent. For disconnect-user operations using DMs, if all NAS identification attributes match, and more than one session matches all of the session identification attributes, then a CoA-request or a disconnect-message request applies to all matching sessions.

The following tables describe the various types of attributes that identify the NAS and the user sessions:

Table 1. NAS Identification AttributesNAS Identification Attributes
Attribute code Attribute Description
4 NAS-IP-Address IPv4 address of the NAS.
95 NAS-IPv6–Address IPv6 address of the NAS.
Table 2. Change of Authorization (CoA) AttributeChange of Authorization (CoA) Attribute
Attribute code Attribute Description
5 NAS-Port Port associated with the session to be processed for EAP or MAB users or the VTY ID for AAA sessions.
Table 3. Session Identification AttributesSession Identification Attributes
Attribute code Attribute Description
31 Calling-Station-Id (MAC Address) The link address from which session is connected.
Table 4. Vendor-specific AttributesVendor-specific Attributes
Attribute code Attribute Description
26 Vendor-specific NAS supports the following values for the vendor-specific attributes:
  • t=26(vendor-speific);l=length;vendor-identification-attribute;Length=value;data=”cmd=re-authenticate”
  • t=26(vendor-speific);l=length;vendor-identification-attribute;Length=value;data=”cmd=disable-host-port”
  • t=26(vendor-speific);l=length;vendor-identification-attribute;Length=value;data=”cmd=bounce-host-port”
  • t=26(vendor-speific);l=length;vendor-identification-attribute;Length=value;data=”cmd=terminate-session”
  • t=26(vendor-speific);l=length;vendor-identification-attribute;Length=value;data=”cmd=disconnect-user”

The vendor identification attribute can be one of the following:

  • v=9(Cisco);Vendor-Type=1(cisco-av-pair) Length = value
  • v=6027 (Force10);Vendor-Type=1(Force10-av-pair) Length = value
