Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service Attributes Suboption for the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Relay Agent Information Option

Overview

RFC 4014, “Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service Attributes Suboption for the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Relay Agent Information Option”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2005 by R. Droms, J. Schnizlein. It has since been updated by RFC 9445. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

The RADIUS Attributes suboption enables a network element to pass identification and authorization attributes received during RADIUS authentication to a DHCP server. When the DHCP server receives a message from a relay agent containing a RADIUS Attributes suboption, it extracts the contents of the suboption and uses that information in selecting configuration parameters for the client.
