RADIUS attribute from rfc7268
EAP-Server-Id
The EAP-Server-Id Attribute contains a Server-Id generated by the
EAP method. Exactly how this name is used depends on the link
layer in question. See for more discussion. The EAP-
Server-Id Attribute is only allowed in Access-Request, Access-
Accept, and Accounting-Request packets. More than one EAP-Server-Id Attribute MUST NOT be included in an Access-Request; one or
more EAP-Server-Id Attributes MAY be included in an Access-Accept.
It should be noted that not all link layers use this name, and
existing EAP method implementations do not generate it. Since the
NAS operates as a pass-through in EAP , it cannot know
the EAP-Server-Id before receiving it from the RADIUS server. As
a result, an EAP-Server-Id Attribute sent in an Access-Request
MUST contain only a single NUL character. A home RADIUS server
receiving an Access-Request with an EAP-Server-Id Attribute
containing anything other than a single NUL character MUST
silently discard the attribute. In addition, the home RADIUS
server SHOULD include this attribute in an Access-Accept only if
an EAP-Server-Id Attribute was present in the Access-Request. A
summary of the EAP-Server-Id Attribute format is shown below. The
fields are transmitted from left to right.

String
The String field is one or more octets, containing an EAP Server-
Id exported by the EAP method. For details, see. A robust implementation SHOULD support the field as
undistinguished octets.
