VSA Format

<a name="wp1076597"> </a><p class="pBody">
The following VSA protocol options are supported by the Cisco NX-OS software:

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ul class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1076598"> </a><li class="pSmartList1"><b class="cBold">Shell </b>protocol&#8212;Used in Access-Accept packets to provide user profile information. 
</li>
<a name="wp1076599"> </a><li class="pSmartList1"><b class="cBold">Accounting </b>protocol&#8212;Used in Accounting-Request packets. If a value contains any white spaces, 
it should be put within double quotation marks.
</li>
</ul></div>
<a name="wp1076600"> </a><p class="pBody">
The following attributes are supported by the Cisco NX-OS software:

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ul class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1076601"> </a><li class="pSmartList1"><b class="cBold">roles</b>&#8212;This attribute lists all the roles to which the user belongs. The value field is a string storing 
the list of group names delimited by white space. For example, if you belong to roles<b class="cBold"> vsan-admin</b> 
and<b class="cBold"> storage-admin</b>, the value field would be “<b class="cBold">vsan-admin storage-admin”</b>. This subattribute is 
sent in the VSA portion of the Access-Accept frames from the RADIUS server, and it can only be 
used with the shell protocol value. These are two examples using the roles attribute:
</li>
<a name="wp1076602"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
<code class="cCode">shell:roles=“network-admin vsan-admin” 
</code>
</p>
<a name="wp1076603"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
<code class="cCode">shell:roles*“network-admin vsan-admin” 
</code>
</p>
<a name="wp1076604"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
When an VSA is specified as<b class="cBold"> shell:roles*“network-admin vsan-admin”</b>, this VSA is flagged as 
an optional attribute, and other Cisco devices ignore this attribute.

</p>
<a name="wp1076605"> </a><li class="pSmartList1"><b class="cBold">accountinginfo</b>&#8212;This attribute stores additional accounting information besides the attributes 
covered by a standard RADIUS accounting protocol. This attribute is only sent in the VSA portion 
of the Account-Request frames from the RADIUS client on the switch, and it can only be used with 
the accounting protocol-related PDUs.
</li>
</ul></div>
