(RADIATOR) Cisco, non-unique NAS-Ports, clobbering Online DB

[Claudio Lapidus]

Hi Dave,

I think I found it. Try this:

----------<snip>----------
AS5850(config)# radius-server attribute nas-port format c

Sets the format of the network gateway (NAS) port attribute to c, which is 
shelf (2 bits), slot (4 bits), port (5 bits), channel (5 bits).
--------<end snip>--------

(weird bit alignment, don't you think? :)

This comes from an AS5850 config guide. Check 
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_serv/as5850/sw_conf/5850oamp/adv.htm
However, I think it applies to other platforms too. I tried some bit 
patterns taken from our 5300's and it seems to match, at least partially, 
but honestly, I didn't dig out too much at this, neither. If you check it 
out please let me know if it works. It could be interesting for some 
applications.

take care,
cl.
