RADIUS A group name defined in the vendor-specific
attribute used by the RADIUS server. Contact your
RADIUS system administrator for information.
LDAP A group name defined in the LDAP group attribute
used by the LDAP server. Contact your LDAP

Configuring groups and extended profiles
The basic steps to configure groups and extended profiles on the Nortel
SNAS using the CLI are:
Step Action
1 Configure the group (see “Configuring groups” (page 156) ).
2 Configure the client filters that will be referenced in the extended
profiles (see
“Configuring client filters” (page 162) ). The client
filters can be referenced by all extended profiles in the domain.
3 Configure the extended profiles for the group (see “Configuring
extended profiles” (page 164) ).
4 Map the linksets to the group and extended profiles (see
“Mapping linksets to a group or profile” (page 167) ).
5 Create a default group, if desired (see “Creating a default group”
(page 169) ).
