how to configure radius authentication for switch management access on voss

Hi.  We are struggling to configure radius authentication on our new VSP Fabric switches.   We have successfully managed to get this to work on ERS switches but not VSP/Fabric Switches.   FYI.  The switch in question is a 5520 running 8.5.1 software.   
Frustratingly there are it seems guides available for BOSS (ERS) and EXOS but not VOSS!!!
We have configured a single management CLIP address on the switches and we have remote connectivity to all 3 switches using SSH. 
We simply want to configure access to the switches to use radius as it does for the ERS switches which simply uses a key and that's it.  
If the username exists and the password is correct I would expect access to be granted, we are not using attributes or trying to change CLI access via radius etc.  
We are not using XIQ or XIQ-SE to manage the switches btw!
Hopefully a guide does exist or somebody who has managed to get this to work can provide one.   Thanks in advance.

Hi Steven,

the VOSS Switches expect the radius return attribute "Passport-Access-Priority" with a value of 6 if its an administrative user.

eg:
Passport-Access-Priority=6

Solution: VOSS/ERS : AAA Radius Server Attributes for ERS and VOSS switches | Extreme Portal (force....
