Configuring RADIUS Attribute for Hybrid Policy Mode
Hybrid Policy mode (RFC 3580 Mapping mode) enables the Wireless Controller to separately
assign different policies or topologies depending on a mobile station location. There are three
available modes of operation:
• RADIUS Filter-ID attribute — Controller uses the topology assigned by the policy and
ignores the VLAN tunnel ID.
• RADIUS Tunnel-Private-Group-ID attribute — Controller selects a policy for the station
based on the VLAN tunnel ID and ignores the filter ID. When selected, a mapping table maps
each VLAN ID to a policy.
