Using Tags with RADIUS Attributes

Service Manager uses tagged RADIUS VSAs to enable a single RADIUS record to activate multiple service sessions for a subscriber, with each session having unique attributes. A particular tag identifies a specific Activate-Service attribute and all other RADIUS attributes that are associated with that Activate-Service attribute.

You can specify a maximum of 8 tags (1–8), which enables you to activate up to eight unique service sessions for a subscriber in a single RADIUS record. The following are tagged VSAs—they must always have a tag in their RADIUS entry:

Activate-Service
Service-Statistics
Service-Timeout
Service-Volume
Service-Interim-Acct-Interval

Table 141 describes an Access-Accept packet that activates the two services, tiered and voice, for subscriber client1@isp1.com. Each service has its own unique tag, enabling you to assign attributes for one service, but not the other. For example, the two services have different timeout settings and different interim accounting intervals, and statistics are enabled only for the tiered service.
