A network engineer is tasked with creating enforcement profiles for a multi-vendor environment and wants to minimize the number of enforcement profiles they need to write. Which approach should the engineer take?
IETF Attributes (like Service-Type or Tunnel-Private-Group-ID) are standard RADIUS attributes that every vendor (Cisco, Aruba, Juniper) must support. Vendor-Specific Attributes (VSAs) are unique (e.g., an Aruba-User-Role won't work on a Cisco switch). By using IETF attributes for common tasks like VLAN assignment, an engineer can create a single Enforcement Profile that works across all hardware in the building, significantly reducing administrative overhead.
