4.5.3 Standard NAS types

The ‘nastypes’ shipped with version 1.6 of GNU Radius defines following NAS types:

unix — UNIX boxes running Finger

This type suits for UNIX boxes running finger service able to return information about dial-up users active on them. To enable finger checking of a unix host add following to your ‘naslist’ file:

#Hostname Shortname Type #-------- --------- ---- nas.name T unix

max-f — MAX Ascend with Finger

Use this type if you have MAX Ascend terminal server that answers finger queries. The ‘naslist’ entry for such NAS will look like:

#Hostname Shortname Type Flags #-------- --------- ---- ----- nas.name T max-f broken_pass

Note the use of broken_pass flag. It is needed for most MAX Ascend servers (see section NAS List — ‘raddb/naslist’).

max — MAX Ascend, answering SNMP

Use this type if you have MAX Ascend terminal server that answers SNMP queries. The ‘naslist’ entry for such NAS will look like:

#Hostname Shortname Type Flags #-------- --------- ---- ----- nas.name T max-f broken_pass,community=comm

Replace comm with your actual SNMP community name.

as5300-f — Cisco AS5300 running finger

as5300 — Cisco AS5300 answering SNMP

livingston — Livingston Portmaster

Type livingston queries portmaster using SNMP.
