Synopsis

Value	INTEGER
Allowed in	Access-Accept
Prohibited in	Access-Request, Access-Reject, Access-Challenge
Presence in Packet	Not required

RADIUS supports a session in which the client computer acts as an AppleTalk router. The Framed-AppleTalk-Link attribute identifies that circumstance to the RADIUS client gear on the far side of the connection. If the value of this attribute is greater than zero, then the value is treated as an AppleTalk network number.

The RFC mandates that this attribute not be used when the client is not acting as an AppleTalk router. This attribute is also exclusive of the Framed-AppleTalk-Network attribute: if both are present in the Access-Accept packet, the connection will be unreliable, and the RADIUS client gear is free to disconnect and/or reject the call.
