Excluding an attribute from portal protocol packets

Support of the portal authentication server for portal protocol attributes varies by the server type. If the device sends the portal authentication server a packet that contains an attribute unsupported by the server, the device and the server cannot communicate.

To address this issue, you can configure portal protocol packets to not carry the attributes unsupported by the portal authentication server.
