request for radius dictionary EVS entry examples

[robert.stannard at bt.com]

?Hi Alan,


Thank you for the example in your email below. I've copied the example here,


BEGIN-VENDOR BT format=Extended-Vendor-Specific-1
ATTRIBUTE BT-Foo-Bar 1 integer
ATTRIBUTE BT-Bar-Baz 2 integer
...
END-VENDOR BT


Could I ask a couple of follow-up questions then please. Following your example then would,

>ATTRIBUTE BT-Foo-Bar 1 integer


translate to a dictionary reference-id of,


>241.26.594.1


where,

241.26 = Extended-Vendor-Specific-1 (evs data-type)

594 = BT

1 = BT-Foo-Bar


and similarly for,

>ATTRIBUTE BT-Bar-Baz 2 integer


this becomes,

>241.26.594.2


so when we read the dictionary file and find

format=Extended-Vendor-Specific-1

we need to "look-up"

>Extended-Vendor-Specific-1 from our dictionaries to retrieve the 241.26 id - so this means that the definitions for evs need to have been loaded first before we can reference them as in the example you have shown?


Kind Regards,

Robert.

  I'll see if I can add some examples/

  You can create extended vendor-specific dictionaries as follows:

BEGIN-VENDOR BT format=Extended-Vendor-Specific-1
ATTRIBUTE BT-Foo-Bar 1 integer
ATTRIBUTE BT-Bar-Baz 2 integer
...
END-VENDOR BT

  i.e. the magic isn't in the "evs" name.  It's in the BEGIN-VENDOR line.  Once that's defined, the rest of the vendor dictionary is the same as normal.
