APPENDIX G RADIUS Vendor
Dictionary Files
The RADIUS server uses a dictionary file to convert between the
numeric attributes and values used in RADIUS packets and
human-readable ones. Most RADIUS packages uses a modular
dictionary, consisting of the file named dictionary and vender
specific files in sub-dictionaries.
Each RADIUS attribute is assigned a unique number and name,
which is than contained in a dictionary file on the RADIUS
server. Currently, the RADIUS Authentication RFC defines
approximately 95 attributes. The remaining values (up to 255)
are reserved for future use.
Vendor-specific attributes are additional attributes made by
vendors to customize how RADIUS works with their products.
One benefit of vendor-specific attributes is that it allows you to
obtain a login menu without having to create an LX subscriber.
Most RADIUS packages require you to add your vendor's
attributes and values to a sub-dictionary. MRV uses vendor code
33. MRV provides a prepared sub-dictionary that specifies which
attributes and values correspond to which numeric codes. Some
RADIUS package formats are different and must be modified to
work in their format.
IMPORTANT!
The following example may not fit your specific RADIUS format. See your RADIUS server
manual for more information. The standard
MRV.dict file is available on your LX CD-
ROM.
