A NAS (network access server) may choose to authenticate the identity of a
device before granting that device access to the network. The IEEE 802.1X
protocol is an example of a mechanism for providing authenticated layer 2
network access. A network element using RADIUS as an authentication
authority will receive attributes from a RADIUS server that may be used by
a DHCP server in the selection of configuration parameters to be delivered
to the device through its DHCP client. The RADIUS Attributes sub-option
enables a network element to pass along attributes for the user of a device
received during RADIUS authentication to a DHCP server.
