MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide v6.4.0

NOTE: When re-authenticating users, the returned RADIUS attribute Service-Type is set to 8744
(decimal).
Called-Station-ID value
By default, this is the MAC address of the wireless port (radio) to which the user is associated.
This is the MAC address of the wvlan0 or wvlan1 interface in IEEE format as displayed by
Tools > System Tools > Interface info.
If required, the controller can return other values for this attribute by setting the Called-Station-Id
content on a per-VSC basis. The other available options are:
• SSID: SSID of the access point with which the user is associated.
• Group: Group name of the access point with which the user is associated.
• macaddress: Returns the MAC address of the wireless port (radio) the user is associated
with. This is the MAC address of the wvlan0 or wvlan1 interface as shown by Controller
>> Tools > System Tools > Interface info.
If the user is connected via a wired connection, the value returned is the MAC address of
the controller wireless/LAN port. To use the MAC address of the Internet port, you must
edit the config file and change the setting of radius-called-station-id-port to WAN in the
<ACCESS-CONTROLLER> section.
• macaddress:ssid: The MAC address of the wireless APs radio, followed by a colon, followed
by the SSID configured on this VSC.
HP-specific attribute: SSID
The SSID of the access point with which the user is associated (wireless only).
HP-specific attribute: GROUP
The group name of the access point with which the user is associated (wireless only).
Example
Consider the following topology for a fictional small hotel. The restaurant and lounge are available
to all hotel users who subscribe to the wireless service. However, the conference room is available
only to a specific group of guests who book it in advance.
