Supported RADIUS attributes

The HP 10GbE switch 802.1x Authenticator relies on external RADIUS servers for authentication with

EAP. The following table lists the RADIUS attributes that are supported as part of RADIUS-EAP

authentication based on the guidelines specified in Annex D of the 802.1x standard and RFC 3580.
