RADIUS attribute from rfc2865
NAS-Port-Type
This Attribute indicates the type of the physical port of the NAS which is authenticating the user. It can be used instead of or in addition to the NAS-Port (5) attribute. It is only used in Access-Request packets. Either NAS-Port (5) or NAS-Port-Type or both SHOULD be present in an Access-Request packet, if the NAS differentiates among its ports. A summary of the NAS-Port-Type Attribute format is shown below. The fields are transmitted from left to right. 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type | Length | Value +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Value (cont) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Type 61 for NAS-Port-Type. Length 6 Value The Value field is four octets. "Virtual" refers to a connection to the NAS via some transport protocol, instead of through a physical port. For example, if a user telnetted into a NAS toauthenticate himself as an Outbound-User, the Access-Request might include NAS-Port-Type = Virtual as a hint to the RADIUS server that the user was not on a physical port. 0 Async 1 Sync 2 ISDN Sync 3 ISDN Async V.120 4 ISDN Async V.110 5 Virtual 6 PIAFS 7 HDLC Clear Channel 8 X.25 9 X.75 10 G.3 Fax 11 SDSL - Symmetric DSL 12 ADSL-CAP - Asymmetric DSL, Carrierless Amplitude Phase Modulation 13 ADSL-DMT - Asymmetric DSL, Discrete Multi-Tone 14 IDSL - ISDN Digital Subscriber Line 15 Ethernet 16 xDSL - Digital Subscriber Line of unknown type 17 Cable 18 Wireless - Other 19 Wireless - IEEE 802.11 PIAFS is a form of wireless ISDN commonly used in Japan, and stands for PHS (Personal Handyphone System) Internet Access Forum Standard (PIAFS).
