Modify Existing Attributes

You can modify attributes that you created and attributes that have been pre-defined for a RADIUS Agent. For example, you can modify the pre-defined Ascend-PPP-Address attribute for the Ascend Agent type.

Note: When you modify an existing attribute, the attribute is not updated dynamically in responses that already use the attribute. If an attribute is used in a response, you must recreate the response using the updated attribute.

All RADIUS Agent types have been pre-configured to use the generic RADIUS attributes, as defined in RFC 2138. These attributes are available to be used by each RADIUS Agent type.

Important! If you overwrite a generic attribute or define a new attribute in the Generic RADIUS Agent, the change is applied to all RADIUS Agents. For example, if you modify the Filter ID attribute in the Generic RADIUS Agent, the modification is also made to all of the other RADIUS Agent types, such as Cisco, Shiva, Livingston, Ascend, and Checkpoint.
