Considerations

  • If you’ve configured RADIUS Reply Attributes for user groups in the API, they’re now listed in the RADIUS tab of the User Groups panel. 
  • You can add up to 50 attributes per user group. 
  • RADIUS Reply Attributes are returned in the Access-Accept messages sent to endpoints that authenticate with JumpCloud RADIUS.

VLAN Tagging

VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) tagging is common when configuring RADIUS. VLAN tagging can isolate traffic on the physical network to one or more virtual networks. For more information about VLAN tagging, watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27nGZZigA_Q

To steer traffic correctly on the physical network, VLAN tagging requires three separate attributes for presentation: Tunnel-Type, Tunnel-Private-Group-ID, and Tunnel-Medium-Type.
