Prerequisites for Configuring AAA for VPDNs

  • Before configuring AAA for VPDNs, you should understand the concepts in the VPDN Technology Overview module.

  • You must identify the VPDN architecture you plan to implement.

  • You must identify the tunneling protocol you will use.

  • If you plan to configure remote AAA, you should understand the concepts in the Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) module and Security Server Protocols module.

  • If you plan to configure Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) Forwarding of Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) Tagging Information, it is recommended that you be familiar with RFC 2516 and DSL Forum TR-101 before configuring this feature.

Information About AAA for VPDNs

VPDN Tunnel Authorization Search Order

When a call to a network access server (NAS) is to be tunneled to a tunnel server, the NAS must identify which tunnel server to forward the call to. The router can authorize users and select the outgoing tunnel based on the domain portion of the username, the Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) number, the multihop hostname, or any combination of these three parameters in a specified order. The default search order for VPDN tunnel authorization is to first search by DNIS, then by domain.

These sections contain information on VPDN tunnel lookup criteria:

VPDN Tunnel Lookup Based on Domain Name

When a NAS is configured to forward VPDN calls on the basis of the user domain name, the user must use a username of the form username@domain. The NAS then compares the user domain name to the domain names it is configured to search for. When the NAS finds a match, it forwards the user call to the proper tunnel server.

VPDN Tunnel Lookup Based on DNIS Information

When a NAS is configured to forward VPDN calls on the basis of the user DNIS information, the NAS identifies the user DNIS information, which is provided on ISDN lines, and then forwards the call to the proper tunnel server.

The ability to select a tunnel on the basis of DNIS information provides additional flexibility to network service providers that offer VPDN services and to the companies that use the services. Instead of using only the domain name for tunnel selection, the NAS can use dialed number information for tunnel selection.

With this feature, a company--which might have only one domain name--can provide multiple specific phone numbers for users to dial in to the NAS at the service provider point of presence (POP). The service provider can select the tunnel to the appropriate services or portion of the company network on the basis of the dialed number.

VPDN Tunnel Lookup Based on Both Domain Name and DNIS Information

When a service provider has multiple AAA servers configured, VPDN tunnel authorization searches based on domain name can be time consuming and might cause the client session to time out.

To provide more flexibility, service providers can configure the NAS to perform tunnel authorization searches by domain name only, by DNIS only, or by both in a specified order.

VPDN Tunnel Lookup Based on the Multihop Hostname

If a device will function as a multihop tunnel switch, tunnel authorization searches can be performed based on the multihop hostname. Configuring a multihop hostname on a tunnel switch allows authorization searches to be based on the identity of the peer device that initiated the tunnel. The multihop hostname can be the hostname of the remote peer that initiated the ingress tunnel, or the tunnel ID associated with the ingress tunnel.

A multihop tunnel switch can be configured to perform authorization searches by multihop hostname only, by domain name only, by DNIS only, or by any combination of these searches in a specified order.

Per-User VPDN AAA

If remote AAA is used for VPDN, the NAS that receives the call from a user forwards information about that user to its remote AAA server. With basic VPDN, the NAS sends the user domain name when performing authentication based on domain name or the telephone number the user dialed in from when performing authentication based on DNIS.

When per-user VPDN is configured, the entire structured username is sent to a RADIUS AAA server the first time the router contacts the AAA server. This enables the software to customize tunnel attributes for individual users that use a common domain name or DNIS.

Without VPDN per-user configuration, the software sends only the domain name or DNIS to determine VPDN tunnel attribute information. Then, if no VPDN tunnel attributes are returned, the software sends the entire username string.

VPDN Authorization for Directed Request Users

Directed requests allow users logging in to a NAS to select a RADIUS server for authorization. With directed requests enabled, only the portion of the username before the “@” symbol is sent to the host specified after the “@” symbol. Using directed requests, authorization requests can be directed to any of the configured servers, and only the username is sent to the specified server.

Domain Name Prefix and Suffix Stripping

When a user connects to a NAS configured to use a remote server for AAA, the NAS forwards the username to the remote AAA server. Some RADIUS or TACACS+ servers require the username to be in a particular format, which might be different from the format of the full username. For example, the remote AAA server might require the username to be in the format user@domain.com, but the full username could be prefix/user@domain.com@suffix. Configuring domain name stripping allows the NAS to strip incompatible portions from the full username before forwarding the reformatted username to the remote AAA server.

The NAS can be configured to perform in these ways:

  • Strip generic suffixes from the full username using the suffix delimiter character @. Any portion of the full username that follows the first delimiter that is parsed will be stripped.

  • Use a different character or set of characters as the suffix delimiter.

  • Strip both suffixes and prefixes from the full username. The NAS can also be configured to strip only specified suffixes instead of performing generic suffix stripping.

VPDN Tunnel Authentication

VPDN tunnel authentication enables routers to authenticate the other tunnel endpoint before establishing a VPDN tunnel. VPDN tunnel authentication is optional for L2TP tunnels.

For additional information on configuring VPDN tunnel authentication for client-initiated VPDN tunneling deployments, see the "Configuring VPDN Tunnel Authentication" section.

VPDN tunnel authentication can be performed in these ways:

  • Using local AAA on both the NAS and the tunnel server

  • Using a remote RADIUS AAA server on the NAS and local AAA on the tunnel server

  • Using a remote TACACS+ AAA server on the NAS and local AAA on the tunnel server

For L2TP tunnels only, a remote RADIUS AAA server can be used to perform VPDN tunnel authentication on the VPDN tunnel terminator as follows:

  • Using a remote RADIUS AAA server on the tunnel server for dial-in VPDNs

  • Using a remote RADIUS AAA server on the NAS for dial-out VPDNs

For detailed information on configuring remote RADIUS or TACACS+ servers, see the "Additional References section."

RADIUS Tunnel Accounting for L2TP VPDNs

RADIUS tunnel accounting for VPDNs is supported by RFC 2867, which introduces six new RADIUS accounting types. Without RADIUS tunnel accounting support, VPDN with network accounting will not report all possible attributes to the accounting record file. RADIUS tunnel accounting support allows users to determine tunnel-link status changes. Because all possible attributes can be displayed, users can better verify accounting records with their Internet service providers (ISPs).

Enabling tunnel type accounting records allows the router to send tunnel and tunnel-link accounting records to the RADIUS server. The two types of accounting records allow the identification of VPDN tunneling events as described next.

Tunnel-Type Accounting Records

AAA sends Tunnel-Start, Tunnel-Stop, or Tunnel-Reject accounting records to the RADIUS server to identify these events:

  • A VPDN tunnel is brought up or destroyed.

  • A request to create a VPDN tunnel is rejected.

Tunnel-Link-Type Accounting Records

AAA sends Tunnel-Link-Start, Tunnel-Link-Stop, or Tunnel-Link-Reject accounting records to the RADIUS server to identify these events:

  • A user session within a VPDN tunnel is brought up or brought down.

  • A user session create request is rejected.

VPDN-Specific Remote RADIUS AAA Server Configurations

The RADIUS attributes are specific to VPDN configurations. For detailed information on configuring remote RADIUS or TACACS+ servers, see the Additional References section.

VPDN-specific RADIUS attributes provide this functionality:

  • Tunnel assignments--The NAS AAA server can be configured to group users from different per-user or domain RADIUS profiles into the same active VPDN tunnel when the tunnel type and tunnel endpoint are identical.

  • Authentication names for NAS-initiated tunnels--The NAS AAA server can be configured with authentication names other than the default names for the NAS and the NAS AAA server.

L2TP Forwarding of PPPoE Tagging Information

The L2TP Forwarding of PPPoE Tag Information feature allows you to transfer DSL line information from the L2TP access concentrator (LAC) to the L2TP network server (LNS). For example, the LAC transports the actual-rate-up and the actual-rate-down PPPoE tag information to the LNS, which learns about the actual PPPoE transfer speeds that are negotiated by the customer premise equipment (CPE) and the digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM). The DSLAM inserts the PPPoE tag values for the rate up and the rate down and signals this information during PPPoE establishment with the LAC, which in turn, sends this information to the LNS.

By using the L2TP Forwarding of PPPoE Tag Information feature, you can also override the nas-port-id or calling-station-id VSAs, or both, on the LNS with the Circuit-ID and Remote-ID VSA respectively.

When you configure the dsl-line-info-forwarding command in VPDN group or VPDN-template configuration mode, and when the LNS receives one of the specified AV pairs, the LNS sends a matching VSA to the RADIUS server as a AAA request. The associated AAA attributes are:

  • AAA_CIRCUIT_ID (RADIUS attribute 87)

  • AAA_REMOTE_ID (RADIUS attribute 31)

  • DSL Sync Rate VSAs

Enter the radius-server attribute 87 circuit-id command to override the nas-port-id with the CIRCUIT_ID VSA. Enter the radius-server attribute 31 remote-id command to override the calling-station-id with the REMOTE_ID VSA.

In accordance with DSL Forum 2004-71, the DSL uses the Vendor Specific tag for line identification. The first 2 octets (TAG_TYPE) are PPPOE_TAG_VENDSPEC (0x0105). The next 2 octets (TAG_LENGTH) contain the total length including Sub-options, Sub-option-lengths, and Tag-values. The first four octets of the TAG_VALUE contain the vendor ID. The next octet contains sub-option for Agent Remote ID (0x02). Following octet contains total length of Sub-option-tag in bytes.

The maximum length for the Remote-ID tag is 63 bytes. The Remote-ID tag contains an operator administered string that uniquely identifies the subscriber on the associated DSL line. The Remote-ID tag can be a phone number, an email address, a billing account number, or any other string that can be used by Service Providers as a tracking mechanism.

If the discovery frame has the sub-option 0x01, it indicates the presence of the Circuit-ID tag. A single frame supports Circuit-ID, Remote-ID, or both. If Circuit-ID is present in the same frame, it sends to the RADIUS server through the Nas-Port-ID attribute.

The following example shows an access and accounting request sent to the RADIUS server with remote-ID tag and DSL-Sync-Rate tags:

The LAC sends the indicated AV pairs, containing the DSL line information to the LNS, which sends them through AAA to the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server uses the DSL line identification when processing AAA requests.

If you plan to configure L2TP Forwarding of PPPoE Tagging Information, it is recommended that you be familiar with RFC 2516 and DSL Forum TR-101 before configuring this feature.

DSL Sync-Rate VSAs

The DSL uses PPPoE Vendor Specific tags for Sync-Rate tag information. DSL Sync-Rates are encoded as 32-bit binary values, describing the rate in kbps. The tag length is 4 bytes. The table below shows the mandatory DSL Sync-Rate tags and their associated RADIUS VSA.

LNS Address Checking

Benefits of LNS Address Checking

The LNS Address Checking feature allows a LAC to check the IP address of the LNS sending traffic to it during the setup of an L2TP tunnel, thus providing a check for uplink and downlink traffic arriving from different interfaces.

The benefit of the LNS Address Checking feature is avoiding the loss of revenue from users sending back traffic through an alternate network.

LNS Address Checking Using a RADIUS Server

Use the Cisco attribute-value pair (AVP), downloaded from a RADIUS server during authentication, to enable IP address checking at the LAC.

The Cisco AVP is:

l2tp-security-ip-address-check=yes

The following RADIUS profile example shows the LNS address checking enabled: 

example.com Password="example"
Service-Type=Outbound
Cisco-Avpair="vpdn:tunnel-id=tunnel"
Cisco-Avpair="vpdn:tunnel-type=l2tp"
Cisco-Avpair=":ip-address=10.10.10.1"
Cisco-Avpair="vpdn:l2tp-tunnel-password=example"
Cisco-Avpair="vpdn:l2tp-security-ip-address-check=yes"

Debugging Dropped Control Packets

Use the LNS Address Checking feature to help troubleshoot dropped control packets. If you configure the debug vpdn 12x-error command, informational messages display for each control packet that is dropped in the following format:

Tnl <tunnel-ID>
 L2TP: Drop <L2TP-packet-name>
 from y.y.y.y (attempted) x.x.x.x

Modified LNS Dead-Cache Handling

The Modified LNS Dead-Cache Handling feature allows you to display and clear (restart) any Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol (L2TP) network server (LNS) entry in a dead-cache (DOWN) state. You can use this feature to generate a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) or system message log (syslog) event when an LNS enters or exits a dead-cache state. Once an LNS exits the dead-cache state, the LNS is able to establish new sessions.

Prior to Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4, networks could not identify the status of a Load Sharing Group (LSG) on a LAC. As a result, it was not possible to know if an LNS is not responding (dead-cache state). An LNS in a dead-cache state causes an LSG to reject a call from an LAC.

Networks also have no method of logging, either though a syslog or SNMP event, when an LNS enters, or is cleared from a dead-cache state.

The Modified LNS Dead-Cache Handling feature allows you to view (identify) and clear (restart) one or more LNS entries in a dead-cache (DOWN) state, and generate either a syslog or SNMP event when an LNS exits or enters a dead-cache state. Once an LNS clears a dead-cache state, the LNS is active and available for new call-session establishments.

How to Configure AAA for VPDNs

Enabling VPDN on the NAS and the Tunnel Server

Before performing any VPDN configuration tasks, you must enable VPDN on the NAS and the tunnel server. If you are deploying a multihop VPDN tunnel switching architecture, VPDN must be enabled on the tunnel switch as well.

SUMMARY STEPS

    1.    enable

    2.    configure terminal

    3.    vpdn enable


DETAILED STEPS
     Command or ActionPurpose
    Step 1 enable


    Example:
    Router> enable
     

    Enables privileged EXEC mode.

    • Enter your password if prompted.

     
    Step 2 configure terminal


    Example:
    Router# configure terminal
     

    Enters global configuration mode.

     
    Step 3 vpdn enable


    Example:
    Router(config)# vpdn enable
     

    Enables VPDN on the router.

     

    Configuring the VPDN Tunnel Authorization Search Order

    Perform this task on the NAS or the tunnel switch to configure the VPDN tunnel authorization search order if you prefer to use an order other than the default order. The default search order for VPDN tunnel authorization is to first search by DNIS, then by domain.

    Before You Begin

    You must perform the task in the "Enabling VPDN on the NAS and the Tunnel Server" section.


    Note

    Tunnel authorization searches based on the multihop hostname are supported only for multihop tunnel switching deployments.

    SUMMARY STEPS

      1.    enable

      2.    configure terminal

      3.    vpdn search-order {dnis [domain] [multihop-hostname] | domain [dnis] [multihop-hostname] | multihop-hostname [dnis] [domain]}


    DETAILED STEPS
       Command or ActionPurpose
      Step 1 enable


      Example:
      Router> enable
       

      Enables privileged EXEC mode.

      • Enter your password if prompted.

       
      Step 2 configure terminal


      Example:
      Router# configure terminal
       

      Enters global configuration mode.

       
      Step 3 vpdn search-order {dnis [domain] [multihop-hostname] | domain [dnis] [multihop-hostname] | multihop-hostname [dnis] [domain]}


      Example:
      Router(config)# vpdn search-order domain dnis
       

      Specifies how the service provider NAS or tunnel switch is to perform VPDN tunnel authorization searches.

      • At least one search parameter keyword must be specified. You can specify multiple search parameter keywords in any order to define the desired order in which searches will be performed.

      Note   

      The multihop-hostname keyword is used only on a device configured as a tunnel switch.

       

      Configuring per-User VPDN on the NAS

      Per-user VPDN can be configured globally, or for individual VPDN groups. The VPDN group configuration will take precedence over the global configuration.

      Perform one of these tasks on the NAS to configure per-user VPDN:

      Prerequisites

      The NAS remote RADIUS server must be configured for AAA. See the "Additional References" section.

      Restrictions

      • Per-user VPDN configuration supports only RADIUS as the AAA protocol.

      • This task is compatible only with NAS-initiated dial-in VPDN scenarios.

      Configuring Global per-User VPDN

      Configuring per-user VPDN on a NAS causes the NAS to send the entire structured username of the user to a RADIUS AAA server the first time the NAS contacts the AAA server. Per-user VPDN can be configured globally, or for individual VPDN groups. Configuring per-user VPDN globally will apply per-user VPDN to all request-dialin VPDN groups configured on the NAS.

      Perform this task on the NAS to configure global per-user VPDN.

            Configuring Remote AAA for VPDNs

            A remote RADIUS or TACACS+ AAA server can be used for tunnel authentication. For detailed information on configuring remote RADIUS or TACACS+ servers, see the "Additional References" section.

            Remote AAA authentication can be configured on the NAS or the tunnel server in these ways:

            Dial-In Configurations

            • The NAS can be configured to use a remote AAA server.

            • The tunnel server, functioning as the tunnel terminator, can be configured to use a remote AAA server for L2TP tunnels only.

            Dial-Out Configurations

            • The NAS, functioning as the tunnel terminator, can be configured to use a remote AAA server for L2TP tunnels only.

            Perform one of these tasks to configure remote AAA for VPDNs:

              What to Do Next

              You must perform the process in the Configuring VPDN Tunnel Authentication section.

              Configuring the Tunnel Terminator for Remote RADIUS AAA for L2TP Tunnels

              You can configure the device that terminates the L2TP VPDN tunnel to perform remote RADIUS AAA. Without this functionality, the tunnel terminator can only perform L2TP authentication locally. Local authentication requires that data about the corresponding tunnel endpoint be configured within a VPDN group. This mechanism does not scale well because the information stored in the VPDN groups on each device must be updated independently.

              Remote RADIUS authentication allows users to store configurations on the RADIUS server, avoiding the need to store information locally. New information can be added to the RADIUS server as needed, and a group of tunnel terminators can access a common database on the RADIUS server.

              Perform this task to configure remote RADIUS AAA for L2TP tunnels on the tunnel terminator. This task can be performed on the tunnel server for dial-in VPDN tunnels, or on the NAS for dial-out VPDN tunnels.

              Before You Begin

              • The remote RADIUS AAA server must be configured. For more information on configuring remote RADIUS AAA servers, see the "Additional References" section.

              • AAA must be enabled. To enable AAA, perform the task in the "Configuring AAA on the NAS and the Tunnel Server" section.

                        Verifying L2TP Tunnel Establishment PPP Negotiations and Authentication with the Remote Client

                        Perform this task to verify that the L2TP tunnel has been established and that the tunnel server can perform PPP negotiation and authentication with the remote client.

                        In this example the steps are performed on the tunnel server, which is performing remote AAA as a tunnel terminator. These steps can also be performed on the NAS when remote AAA is being performed on the NAS as a tunnel initiator for dial-in VPDNs or as a tunnel terminator for dial-out VPDNs.

                        SUMMARY STEPS

                          1.    enable

                          2.    debug ppp negotiation

                          3.    debug ppp authentication

                          4.    show logging


                        DETAILED STEPS
                          Step 1   enable

                          Enter this command to enable privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted:



                          Example:
                          Router> enable
                          Step 2   debug ppp negotiation

                          Enter this command on the tunnel server to display PPP negotiation debugging messages.



                          Example:
                          Router# debug ppp negotiation
                          Step 3   debug ppp authentication

                          Enter this command on the tunnel server to display PPP authentication debugging messages.



                          Example:
                          Router# debug ppp authentication
                          Step 4   show logging

                          Enter this command on the tunnel server to display the contents of the standard system logging message buffer. Observe that the tunnel server receives a PPP Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) challenge and then sends a PPP CHAP "SUCCESS" to the client.



                          Example:
                          00:38:50: ppp3 PPP: Received LOGIN Response from AAA = PASS
00:38:50: ppp3 PPP: Phase is FORWARDING, Attempting Forward
00:38:50: Vi4.1  Tnl/Sn4571/4 L2TP: Session state change from wait-for-service-selection to established
00:38:50: Vi4.1 PPP: Phase is AUTHENTICATING, Authenticated User
00:38:50: Vi4.1 CHAP: O SUCCESS id 1 len 4

                          After PPP authentication is successful, observe from the debug output that PPP negotiation has started, that the tunnel server has received Link Control Protocol (LCP) IP Control Protocol (IPCP) packets, and that negotiation is successful.



                          Example:
                          00:38:50: Vi4.1 IPCP: State is Open
00:38:50: Vi4.1 IPCP: Install route to 10.1.1.4

                              A single set of stripping rules can be configured globally. An independent set of stripping rules can be configured for each virtual private network (VPN) routing and forwarding (VRF) instance.

                              Global stripping rules are applied to all usernames, and per-VRF rules are applied only to usernames associated with the specified VRF. If a per-VRF rule is configured, it will take precedence over the global rule for usernames associated with that VRF.

                              Perform this task on the NAS to configure a set of global or per-VRF stripping rules.

                              Before You Begin

                              • AAA must be enabled on the NAS. See the "Configuring AAA on the NAS and the Tunnel Server" section.

                              • You must understand the usage guidelines for the radius-server domain-stripping command as described in the VPDN command reference.

                                • right-to-left --Configures the router to parse the username for a delimiter from right to left, rather than in the default direction of left to right. The prefix or suffix will be stripped at the first valid delimiter character detected by the router. Changing the direction that the router parses the username will control the portion of the username that is stripped if multiple valid delimiters are present.

                                Note   

                                Only one parse direction can be configured per set of global or per-VRF rules. The router cannot be configured to parse for prefixes in one direction, and parse for suffixes in the other direction.

                                • prefix-delimiter character [character2...character7]--Enables prefix stripping and specifies the character or characters that will be recognized as a prefix delimiter. Valid values for the character argument are @, /, $, %, \, #, and -. Multiple characters can be entered without intervening spaces. Up to seven characters can be defined as prefix delimiters, which is the maximum number of valid characters. If a \ is entered as the final or only value for the character argument, it must be entered as \\.

                                Note   

                                Enabling prefix stripping will automatically enable suffix stripping using the default suffix delimiter @, unless a different suffix delimiter is configured using the delimiter character keyword and argument.

                                • delimiter character [character2...character7]--Specifies the character or characters that will be recognized as a suffix delimiter. Valid values for the character argument are @, /, $, %, \, #, and -. Multiple characters can be entered without intervening spaces. Up to seven characters can be defined as prefix delimiters, which is the maximum number of valid characters. If a \ is entered as the final or only value for the character argument, it must be entered as \\.

                                • vrf vrf-name --Restricts the stripping configuration to a VRF instance. The vrf-nameargument specifies the name of a configured VRF.

                                 
                                Step 4Do one of the following:
                                • radius-server domain-stripping strip-suffix suffix [vrf vrf-name]
                                • tacacs-server domain-stripping strip-suffix suffix [vrf vrf-name]


                                Example:
                                Router(config)# radius-server domain-stripping strip-suffix cisco.com


                                Example:
                                Router(config)# tacacs-server domain-stripping strip-suffix cisco.net vrf myvrf

                                (Optional) Configures a router to strip a specific suffix from the username before forwarding the username to the TACACS+ server.

                                • strip-suffix suffix --Enables per-suffix suffix stripping and specifies the string that must be matched for the suffix to be stripped.

                                Note   

                                Both the suffix delimiter and the suffix must match for the suffix to be stripped from the full username. The default suffix delimiter of @ will be used if you do not specify a different suffix delimiter or set of suffix delimiters in .

                                • vrf vrf-name --Restricts the per-suffix stripping configuration to a VRF instance. The vrf-nameargument specifies the name of a VRF.

                                Note   

                                You can configure a single ruleset to strip multiple specific suffixes by performing this step multiple times.

                                 

                                What to Do Next

                                You must perform the process in the Configuring VPDN Tunnel Authentication section.

                                Configuring VPDN Tunnel Authentication

                                VPDN tunnel authentication enables routers to authenticate the other tunnel endpoint before establishing a VPDN tunnel. VPDN tunnel authentication is optional but highly recommended for L2TP, L2TPv3, and PPTP tunnels.

                                By default, the router will use the hostname as the tunnel name in VPDN tunnel authentication. If a local name is configured under a VPDN group, the router will use the local name when negotiating authentication for tunnels belonging to that VPDN group.

                                For NAS-initiated VPDN deployments VPDN deployments, tunnel authentication requires that a single shared secret be configured on both the NAS and the tunnel server. For L2TP tunnels, the password can be configured using the hostname, the local name, or the L2TP tunnel password.

                                For client-initiated VPDN tunneling deployments, tunnel authentication requires that a single shared secret be configured on both the client and the tunnel server. The available authentication configuration options depend on the tunneling protocol being used.

                                For L2TPv3 client-initiated VPDN tunnels, the shared secret can be configured on the local peer router and the tunnel server in either of these ways:

                                • In an L2TP class configuration. Perform the task Configuring L2TP Control Channel Authentication Parameters in the Configuring Client-Initiated Dial-In VPDN Tunneling module instead of the process documented in this section.

                                • Using the hostname of the router as described in the process documented in this section.

                                For L2TP client-initiated VPDN tunnels, the shared secret can be configured on the tunnel server using the hostname, the local name, or the L2TP tunnel password as described the process documented in this section. The shared secret can be configured on the local peer router in either of these ways:

                                • In an L2TP class configuration. Perform the task Configuring L2TP Control Channel Authentication Parameters in the Configuring Client-Initiated Dial-In VPDN Tunneling module instead of the process documented in this section.

                                • Using the hostname of the router as described in the process documented in this section.

                                For PPTP client-initiated VPDN tunnels, authentication parameters can be configured by using the hostname or the local name as described in the process documented in this section.

                                To configure VPDN tunnel authentication, you must perform one of the following tasks on the NAS and the tunnel server as required. You need not choose the same method to configure the secret on the NAS and the tunnel server. However, the configured password must be the same on both devices.

                                VPDN tunnel authentication is optional for L2TP tunnels. Perform this task on the NAS and the tunnel server if you want to disable VPDN tunnel authentication:

                                Prerequisites

                                AAA must be enabled. See the Configuring AAA on the NAS and the Tunnel Server section.

                                      Router(config-vpdn)# l2tp tunnel password mysecret
                                       

                                      Sets the password that the router will use to authenticate the tunnel.

                                       
                                      Step 5 local name host-name


                                      Example:
                                      Router(config-vpdn)# local name tunnelserver2
                                       

                                      (Optional) Specifies a local hostname that the tunnel will use to identify itself.

                                      • You must perform this step if the remote router does not use the L2TP tunnel password.

                                       
                                      Step 6 exit


                                      Example:
                                      Router(config-vpdn)# exit
                                       

                                      (Optional) Exits VPDN group configuration mode.

                                      • You must perform this step only if the remote router does not use the L2TP tunnel password method of VPDN tunnel authentication.

                                       
                                      Step 7 username name password secret


                                      Example:
                                      Router(config)# username nas64 password mysecret
                                       

                                      (Optional) Establishes a username-based authentication system.

                                      • You need to perform this step only if the remote router does not use the L2TP tunnel password method of VPDN tunnel authentication.

                                      • The specified username must be the name of the remote router.

                                      • The password must be the same on both routers.

                                       
                                      What to Do Next

                                      • Once you have configured a secret password on one tunnel endpoint, you must configure the same tunnel secret on the corresponding tunnel endpoint.

                                      Disabling VPDN Tunnel Authentication for L2TP Tunnels

                                      Perform this task to disable VPDN tunnel authentication for L2TP tunnels. You must perform this task on both the NAS and the tunnel server to disable VPDN tunnel authentication.

                                        Configuring RADIUS Tunnel Accounting for L2TP VPDNs

                                        The new RADIUS tunnel accounting types are used with the RADIUS accounting attribute Acct-Status-Type (attribute 40), which indicates whether an accounting request marks the beginning of user service (start) or the end (stop).

                                        Perform this task to configure a NAS or tunnel server to send tunnel and tunnel-link accounting records to the remote RADIUS server.

                                        Before You Begin

                                        Note

                                        RADIUS tunnel accounting is supported only for VPDNs using the L2TP protocol.

                                          Configuring Authentication of L2TP Tunnels at the Tunnel Terminator Remote RADIUS AAA Server

                                          For L2TP tunnels, you can configure the device that terminates the VPDN tunnel to perform remote RADIUS AAA. A remote RADIUS AAA server can be used to perform VPDN tunnel authentication on the tunnel terminator as follows:

                                          • Using a remote RADIUS AAA server on the tunnel server for dial-in VPDNs

                                          • Using a remote RADIUS AAA server on the NAS for dial-out VPDNs

                                          Perform this task on the remote RADIUS AAA server to configure the RADIUS server to authenticate VPDN tunnels at the device that terminates the tunnel.

                                          Before You Begin

                                          • The RADIUS server must be configured for AAA. For more information on configuring remote RADIUS AAA servers, see the "Additional References" section.

                                          • The service type in the RADIUS user profile for the tunnel initiator should always be set to "Outbound."


                                          Note

                                          This task applies only when the device that terminates the VPDN tunnel is performing remote RADIUS AAA. To configure the tunnel terminator to perform remote RADIUS AAA, perform the task in the "Configuring the Tunnel Terminator for Remote RADIUS AAA for L2TP Tunnels" section.

                                            Specifies which dialer to use on the NAS for dial-out configuration.

                                            Note   

                                            Perform this step only for dial-out configurations.

                                            Configuring Tunnel Assignments on the NAS Remote RADIUS AAA Server

                                            Tunnel assignments allow the grouping of users from different per-user or domain RADIUS profiles into the same active tunnel. This functionality prevents the establishment of duplicate tunnels when the tunnel type, tunnel endpoints, and tunnel assignment ID are identical.

                                            Perform this task on the NAS remote RADIUS AAA server for each user and domain that you want to group into the same tunnel.

                                            Before You Begin

                                            The RADIUS server must be configured for AAA.

                                              RADIUS tunnel authentication name attributes allows you to specify a name other than the default name for the tunnel initiator and for the tunnel terminator. These authentication names are specified using RADIUS tunnel attributes 90 and 91.

                                              Perform this task on the remote RADIUS AAA server. This task applies to NAS-initiated tunnels using either L2TP or L2F.

                                              Before You Begin

                                              • The RADIUS server must be configured for AAA.

                                              • The NAS must be able to recognize RADIUS attributes 90 and 91.

                                              • The RADIUS server must support tagged attributes to use RADIUS tunnel attributes 90 and 91. Tagged attributes are defined in RFC 2868, RADIUS Tunnel Authentication Attributes .

                                                      Outgoing PADO and PADS packets will have the DSLAM-inserted Vendor-Specific Line-Id tag, and DSLAM must strip the Circuit-Id tag from the packets. If the DSLAM cannot strip the tag, the BRAS must remove it before sending out the packets. This task is accomplished through configuration of the vendor-tag remote-id strip command under BBA group configuration mode.

                                                        • The acct_session_id is 79 or 4F in hexadecimal format.

                                                        • In the message Acct-session-id pre-pended with Nas Port = 0/0/0/200, the interface on which the PPPoE discovery frames arrived is FastEthernet0/0.200. The 0/0/0 is Cisco format for slot/subslot/port.

                                                        • The Acct-Session-Id vendor-specific attribute 44 contains the string 0/0/0/200_0000004F, which is a combination of the ingress interface and the session identifier.

                                                        By default, L2TP obtains the receive-speed (rx-speed) and transmit-speed (tx-speed) values from PPPoE and sends the values to LNS. To override L2TP forwarding of the rx-speed and tx-speed values received from PPPoE, the rx-speed and the tx-speed values should be configured in the RADIUS server, or by using the l2tp rx-speed and l2tp tx-speed commands in VPDN group configuration or VPDN template configuration mode. The speed values are configured in kbps.

                                                        Configuring rx-speed and tx-speed Values When the RADIUS Server Is Not Used

                                                        When the RADIUS server is not used, the rx-speed and the tx-speed values can be configured in VPDN group configuration or VPDN template configuration mode. The rx-speed and tx-speed values configured in VPDN group configuration mode are specific to the tunnel and are sent to all sessions under the tunnel.

                                                        Perform this task to configure rx-speed and tx-speed values in VPDN group configuration or VPDN template configuration mode when the RADIUS server is not used.

                                                          Example:
                                                          Router(config-vpdn)# l2tp tx-speed 15000
                                                           

                                                          Sends the tx-speed value to LNS.

                                                          • If the tx-speed value is not provided, L2TP receives the tx-speed value from PPPoE.

                                                           
                                                          Step 7 end


                                                          Example:
                                                          Router(config-vpdn)# end
                                                           

                                                          Exits VPDN group configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode.

                                                           

                                                          Configuring rx-speed and tx-speed Values on the RADIUS Server

                                                          You can configure the rx-speed and tx-speed values on the RADIUS server by Specifying the rx-speed and tx-speed values on the RADIUS server.

                                                          The values configured for rx-speed and tx-speed are session oriented. L2TP stores the rx-speed and tx-speed values for every session by using the vpdn-authen-before-forward command configured on LAC.

                                                          The steps for configuring the default rx-speed and tx-speed values on the RADIUS server are the same as configuring the rx-speed and tx-speed values when the RADIUS server is not used. For configuring rx-speed and tx-speed values on the RADIUS server, see the Configuring rx-speed and tx-speed Values When the RADIUS Server Is Not Used section.

                                                          Configuring rx-speed and tx-speed Values from ANCP on the RADIUS Server

                                                          ANCP sends the upstream and downstream values to L2TP. The upstream value is the rx-speed value and the downstream value is the tx-speed value.

                                                          Perform this task on the RADIUS server to configure rx-speed and tx-speed values from ANCP.

                                                          Before You Begin

                                                          • The quality of service (QoS) policy must be attached to PPPoE between the client and the LAC.

                                                          • The ANCP session and the ANCP neighbor session must be started.

                                                          • The average rate traffic shaping value must be configured for the default class by using the shape average command in policy-map class configuration mode.

SNMP trap-directed notification alerts you without solicitation, by sending a message known as a trap of the event. After you receive the event, you can display it and can choose to take an appropriate action based on the event.

                                                                    To generate an SNMP event when an LNS exits or enters the dead-cache state, follow this procedure.

                                                                        vpdn enable

The first time the NAS contacts the remote RADIUS AAA server, the entire structured username will be sent rather than just the domain name or DNIS number.

                                                                        vpdn enable

                                                                        The following example configures the router to parse the username from right to left and sets the valid suffix delimiter characters as @, \, and $. If the full username is cisco/user@cisco.com$cisco.net, the username /user@cisco.com will be forwarded to the RADIUS server because the $ character is the first valid delimiter encountered by the NAS when parsing the username from right to left. 

                                                                        radius-server domain-stripping right-to-left delimiter @\$

                                                                        radius-server domain-stripping vrf abc

The default suffix delimiter character @ will be used for generic suffix stripping. If the full username is cisco/user@cisco.com, the username user will be forwarded to the TACACS+ server. 

                                                                        tacacs-server domain-stripping prefix-delimiter /

If the full username is cisco/user@cisco.com#cisco.net, the username user@cisco.com will be forwarded to the RADIUS server. 

                                                                        radius-server domain-stripping prefix-delimiter / delimiter #

If the full username is cisco/user@cisco.com, the username user will be forwarded to the TACACS+ server. If the full username is cisco/user@cisco.com#cisco.com, the username “user@cisco.com” will be forwarded. 

                                                                        tacacs-server domain-stripping prefix-delimiter / delimiter $@#

If the full username is cisco/user@cisco.net@cisco.com, the username cisco/user@cisco.net will be forwarded to the RADIUS server. If the full username is cisco/user@cisco.com@cisco.net, the full username will be forwarded.

                                                                        radius-server domain-stripping strip-suffix cisco.com

                                                                        Configurable Domain Name Prefix and Suffix Stripping for the RADIUS server

                                                                        Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1

                                                                        This feature allows the NAS to be configured to strip prefixes, suffixes, or both from the full username. The reformatted username is then forwarded to the remote AAA server.

                                                                        The following command was introduced or modified by this feature: radius-server domain-stripping.

                                                                        RADIUS Attribute 82: Tunnel Assignment ID

                                                                        Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1

                                                                        This feature allows the L2TP NAS to group users from different per-user or domain RADIUS profiles into the same active tunnel if the tunnel endpoints, tunnel type, and Tunnel-Assignment-ID are identical.

                                                                        No commands were introduced or modified by this feature.

                                                                        RADIUS Tunnel Attribute Extensions

                                                                        Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1

                                                                        This feature introduces RADIUS attribute 90 and RADIUS attribute 91. Both attributes help support the provision of compulsory tunneling in VPDNs by allowing the user to specify authentication names for the NAS and the RADIUS server.

                                                                        No commands were introduced or modified by this feature.

                                                                        RFC-2867 RADIUS Tunnel Accounting

                                                                        Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1

                                                                        This feature introduces six new RADIUS accounting types that are used with the RADIUS accounting attribute Acct-Status-Type (attribute 40), which indicates whether an accounting request marks the beginning of user service (start) or the end (stop).

                                                                        The following commands were introduced or modified by this feature: aaa accounting, vpdn session accounting network, vpdn tunnel accounting network.

                                                                        Tunnel Authentication via RADIUS on Tunnel Terminator

                                                                        Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1

                                                                        This feature allows the L2TP tunnel server to perform remote authentication and authorization with RADIUS on incoming L2TP NAS dial-in connection requests. This feature also allows the L2TP NAS to perform remote authentication and authorization with RADIUS on incoming L2TP tunnel server dial-out connection requests.

                                                                        The following commands were introduced by this feature: vpdn tunnel authorization network, vpdn tunnel authorization password, vpdn tunnel authorization virtual-template.

                                                                        L2TP Forwarding of PPPoE Tagging Information

                                                                        Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4

                                                                        This feature was introduced on Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers.

                                                                        LNS Address Checking

                                                                        This feature allows an LAC, which is receiving data from a LNS, to check the IP address of the LNS prior to establishing an L2TP tunnel.

                                                                        The following command was introduced by this feature: l2tp security ip address-check.

                                                                        Modified LNS Dead-Cache Handling

                                                                        This feature displays and clears (restarts) any LNS entry in a dead-cache (DOWN) state.

                                                                        The following commands were introduced by this feature: clear vpdn dead-cache, show vpdn dead-cache.

                                                                        The following commands were modified by this feature: snmp-server enable traps, vpdn logging.

                                                                        Configurable Domain Name Prefix and Suffix Stripping for the TACACS+ server

                                                                        Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5

                                                                        This feature allows the NAS to be configured to strip prefixes, suffixes, or both from the full username. The reformatted username is then forwarded to the remote AAA server.

                                                                        The following command was introduced or modified by this feature: tacacs-server domain-stripping.
