The RADIUS protocol has good scalability. Attribute 26 (Vender-Specific) defined in this
protocol allows a device vendor to extend RADIUS to implement functions that are not
defined in standard RADIUS.
Figure 1-4 depicts the format of attribute 26. The Vendor-ID field used to identify a
vendor occupies four bytes, where the first byte is 0, and the other three bytes are
defined in RFC 1700. Here, the vendor can encapsulate multiple customized
sub-attributes (containing vendor-specific Type, Length and Value) to implement a
RADIUS extension.

1.1.4 Introduction to HWTACACS

I. What is HWTACACS

HWTACACS (Huawei terminal access controller access control system) is an
enhanced security protocol based on TACACS (RFC 1492). Similar to the RADIUS
protocol, it implements AAA for different types of users (such as PPP, VPDN, and
terminal users) through communicating with TACACS server in client-server mode.
