L2TP Disconnect Cause Information
The L2TP Disconnect Cause Information feature adds support for additional Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol (L2TP) disconnect error codes using attribute-value (AV) pair 46 as specified by RFC 3145. Prior to the introduction of this feature, L2TP hosts could not exchange PPP disconnect error codes.

Finding Feature Information
Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest caveats and feature information, see Bug Search Tool and the release notes for your platform and software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the feature information table.

Restrictions for L2TP Disconnect Cause Information
This feature implements only error codes that are compliant with RFC 3145.
If a router receives AV pair 46 with a nonsupported disconnect code it is mapped to code 0, indicating that no information is available.

How L2TP Disconnect Cause Information Works
L2TP disconnect cause codes allow the devices functioning as L2TP hosts to exchange PPP-related disconnect cause information. Normally L2TP operation is isolated from details of the PPP session that is being encapsulated. AV pair 46 PPP Disconnect Cause Code is used to exchange PPP-related disconnect cause information between L2TP hosts. The information can be translated to the appropriate authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) code and relayed to the remote RADIUS AAA server.
Benefits of L2TP Disconnect Cause Information
When L2TP service fails or session establishment is unsuccessful, PPP-specific disconnect information provides valuable information that can be used for troubleshooting or accounting purposes. The lack of this information is a problem particularly when the L2TP hosts are not owned or managed by the same entities. The L2TP Disconnect Cause Information feature enables service providers to determine the specific failure reason, facilitating analysis and error correction.
L2TP Disconnect Cause Information Codes
The table below lists the supported L2TP disconnect cause codes from RFC 3145 and a brief description of the codes.

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1 |
This feature was introduced on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. The L2TP Disconnect Cause Information feature adds support for additional Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol (L2TP) disconnect error codes using attribute-value (AV) pair 46 as specified by RFC 3145. Prior to the introduction of this feature, L2TP hosts could not exchange PPP disconnect error codes. No commands were introduced or modified by this feature. |
