CoA Attributes

By default, Cloudpath sends the following CoA disconnect attributes to the switch or AP:
  • Calling-Station-Id
  • NAS-Ip-Address
  • Acct-Session-Id

Adding Attributes

If your switch, AP vendor or controller requires additional CoA Disconnect attributes, they can be added here. If you cannot locate the attribute you need, you can go to Configuration > Radius Server, "Attributes" tab on the Cloudpath UI to locate and enable the desired attribute.
