Configuring Brocade-specific attributes on the
RADIUS server

During the RADIUS authentication process, if a user supplies a valid username and password, the
RADIUS server sends an Access-Accept packet to the Brocade, authenticating the user. Within the
Access-Accept packet, the RADIUS server could send attribute “Vendor-Specific” whose value could
inform the Brocade on the runtime environment for this session. The value of Brocade’s Vendor ID
is 1991. This section will detail all the vendor specific attributes defined by Brocade.This section
will detail all the vendor specific attributes defined by Brocade.

attribute can be set to one of the following:
0 –Super User level – Allows complete
read-and-write access to the system. This is
generally for system administrators and is the only
management privilege level that allows you to
configure passwords.
4 – Port Configuration level – Allows read-and-write
access for specific ports but not for global
(system-wide) parameters.
5 – Read Only level – Allows access to the Privileged
EXEC mode and CONFIG mode of the CLI but only
with read access.

foundry-command-string

string

Specifies a list of CLI commands that are permitted
or denied to the user when RADIUS authorization is
configured.
The commands are delimited by semi-colons (;). You
can specify an asterisk (*) as a wildcard at the end
of a command string.
For example, the following command list specifies all
show and debug ip commands, as well as the write
terminal command:
show *; debug ip *; write term*

foundry-command-exception
-flag

integer

Specifies whether the commands indicated by the
brocade-command-string attribute are permitted or
denied to the user. This attribute can be set to one of
the following:
0 – Permit execution of the commands indicated by
brocade-command-string, deny all other commands.
1 – Deny execution of the commands indicated by
brocade-command-string, permit all other
commands.

foundry-INM-privilege

4

integer

Specifies the Brocade Network Advisor user privilege
level. This attribute can take a value range from 0 to

The admin user has to configure these roles with the
appropriate sets of privileges in order for the AAA
user to get the correct set of feature access.
