Re: [Help-gnu-radius] Ascend DNS attributes?

Hi,

No, this will produce a syntax error. There is no such attribute as
"Vendor-Specific" in the dictionary and that's because its format
is quite different from any other attributes. If you wish to use
vendor specific attributes, simply include an appropriate dictionary
file to the main dictionary and use the attributes as if they were
usual ones.

The Ascend boxes actually support two orthogonal sets of attributes:
the usual attributes (with numbers less than 256), and the vendor
specific ones. The NAS can be configured to use only one set of
attributes at a time (I don't remember how this is configured on an
Ascend box, take a look at the documentation). Now, if your NAS is
configured to use vendor specific attributes, comment out `$INCLUDE
dict/ascend' statement in your raddb/dictionary and uncomment
`$INCLUDE dict/ascend.vs'. That's the only change needed.
