Configuring RADIUS Attributes

The RADIUS Attributes tab enables administrators to configure specific attributes that define how authenticated user sessions are handled within the network. These attributes allow the RADIUS server to dynamically enforce user-specific or group-specific policies, rather than relying solely on locally configured settings on the controller or firewall.

This feature is supported in SonicOS 8.2.2 and higher versions.

To configure RADIUS Attributes

1. Navigate to Device > Users > Settings > Authentication.
2. Next to Configure RADIUS, click Configure.

3. On the RADIUS Configuration page, click the RADIUS Attributes tab.

   

4. Under the following sections, turn on the toggle for each attribute you want to use.

   • Bandwidth Management Attributes

   These attributes are used to control bandwidth allocation for authenticated users.

   Attribute	Description
   WISPr Bandwidth Max Up	Defines the maximum upstream bandwidth allowed for the user session.
   WISPr Bandwidth Max Down	Defines the maximum downstream bandwidth allowed for the user session.
   Airspace Data Bandwidth Avg Contract	Applies a contracted average bandwidth policy for data traffic.
   Airspace Real Time Bandwidth Avg Contract	Applies average bandwidth policy for real-time traffic.

   • Session Attributes

   These attributes define how long a session can remain active, how much data can be used, and what service constraints apply.

   Attribute	Description
   Session Octets Limit	Limits the total amount of data a user session can consume.
   Octets Direction	Specifies which traffic direction is counted for octet-based limits.
   Session Timeout Enable	Allows the RADIUS server to define the maximum session duration.
   Idle Timeout Enable	Allows the RADIUS server to end sessions after inactivity.
   WISPr Session Terminate Time	Ends the session at a defined termination time.
   Real Time Service	Associates a selected service object or group with the session policy. To create a new service object, select Create new Service object. For more information, refer to Service Objects in the SonicOS 8 Objects guide. To create a new service group, select Create new Service group. For more information, refer to Service Groups in the SonicOS 8 Objects guide.
