Introduction

In this document we're walking through a configuration setting up BNG for IPoE and PPPoE. The Setup for this configuration is similar to the setup you can see in the YouTube video for an ip sessions demo.

Problem Description

Detailed description of how to set up the configuration and the options establishing PPPoE and IPoE sessions. Understanding the anatomy of a control policy language.

Setup

Configuration and Explanations

hostname A9K-BNG

!The clients from which we are going to accept a COA Response.

!The match-first describes that we are only handling one class of the !event, and the class that we match first.

What does it do or when is it triggered?

authentication-failure*

when we receive an access-reject from radius

authentication-no-response

when the method list for authentication request does not return any response (success/reject)

authorize-failure*

when we receive an access-reject from radius

authorize-no-response

when the method list for authen or author does not return any response (success/reject)

service-stop

!CLASS: Underneath that event, we define the classes. In this example

!I created 2 classes to match specifically on DHCP and PPP sessions.

!I can have 1 control policy with 1 event, and then the class

Do until?

What does it do?

do-until-failure

Until we receive a failure (eg access reject or no radius response or feature application failure) We stop the execution.

When we successfully executed the task we stop.

Hello Xander! I have an interesting question to you!

In our company we want to make a new service "child internet". So we want to redirect all dns queries to our special DNS server to block websites which are not alowed.

For PPP users on ASR1000 I made a route-map and added it to subscriber's profile like this:

Cisco-Avpair="lcp:interface-config=ip policy route-map RM-NAT-DNS"

I tried to find the same thing on ASR9001 but in vain. I can't add route-map to user through radius. What can you recommend to me?

hi Andrew!

yeah in XR we dont have route-maps. Either we use RPL (route policy language) to control the routing information, or for PBR (policy based routing) we can use ABF (access list based forwarding).

Example is here: https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2196671

you define an ACL and you specify the next hop, similar as what route-maps/PBR do in IOS.

you then assign the ACL via eg filter-ID or the VSA to the session.

Hello Xander,

I hope you are well.
I wonder why you have not answered on my last post. It's about VRF's and putting a subscriber in VRF using AV-Pair. It's being used with Ericsson Redback BRAS devices, and we have to support this feature, too. We are now waiting for the two BNGs so I can play on them again.

https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-19726#comment-20527

Hello! Xander! Thanks again for your help! It is the feature I was looked for!

And today I found new IOS XR servion 4.3.2.

Can you answer if you added in this version parameterized ACL's and if not when do you plan to introduce this feature?

Hi andrew, parameterized acl is not in xr432, currently this is on the roadmap but not committed to a release yet.

Smail: for your case you need:

avpair ipv4:ipv4-unnumbered=loopack30 and ipv4:vrf-id=VRF-INTERNET to move the user into the desired vrf.

If you have pppoe only, the access interface does not need any vrf or ip configuration.

if you have ip sessions, you need to have ip enabled on the interface in order to process the dhcp discovers.

Thank you again for your help.

But there is something is do not understand. You said "you need to have ip enabled...". What exactly do you mean?

I have ipv4 unnumbered under the interface, but this loopback interface is under a VRF, and this means that the subscriber is automatically placed in this VRF, because it gets an IP address from this subnet. If I would remove VRF Internet from the loopback interface, the subscriber would be in the global routing table. PPPoE is more easy, because it does not need an IP address under the access interace.

the access interface is irrespective of the subscriber. once the established subscriber sends packets it will get matched against its subscr context and using its associated routing table.

before the subscr is connected, that is, it is in dhcp discover mode, the packets hit the access interface, in that case it is perfectly fine to leave that access if in the global routing table just with some ip enabled, whether that be unnumberd or not; this to ensure we take the dhcp discover and punt it to the control plane.

when the subscriber has an ip address but no interface, it will route against the access interface, in that lighti it may make sense to apply an ACL to the access interace, for security, that blocks anything but dhcp so we allow that for sub creation but not allowing routing against the access interface.

for ip sessions the access if needs ip enabled, otherwise incoming discovers are dropped because the PARSE stage of the NPU will say, hey get ip in, but ip is not enabled.

Wow thank you, I understand now. After the session is established, the subscriber has it's own interface and the access interface and the IP address on it is not that important, it's more to get a DHCP Discover out.

All I need is to have the VRF under the dynamic template.

You are as always a big help in this forum.

appreciate that smail! and yes your understanding is perfectly clear!

there is one implementation gotcha (inside dhcp), when the access interface is in a vrf, we allow the subscriber to be in same or another vrf as the access interface, but we dont allow then the subscriber in the global table!

If the access interface is in the global, you can put the user in the global or any vrf.

So yeah, just enable some IP on the interface, and apply an ACL that denies everything but DHCP

(or enable uRPF on the access interface).

cheers!

While reading your last post I remembered that we tested a scenario with http redirect to a captive portal.

In the first phase the subscriber gets an IP and he is being redirected to the captive portal when he opens a web browser.

Because in this phase (getting an IP) RADIUS and thus AV-Pair with the VRF attribute is not used, the subscriber is in the global routing table.

So I have to ask you is the subscriber being moved to the respective VRF while being authenticated on the Captive Portal with CoA?

Sorry for asking, previous ASR9001 had to be returned to Cisco and we have to wait for the two 9006 that will be shipped soon. That is why I can not test it by myself and have to ask you.

xthuijs

There are a couple of design options here Smail.

One thing to take in mind is that a subscriber once active cannot move between vrf's, that is, we can't change his vrf after assignment.

BUT we can do route leaking, that is moving traffic form one vrf to another.

BUT this means we can't have overlapping addresses anymore, because addr X we need to route back to vrf something obviously.

So the options you have are:

All subscribers in a vrf, Portal in a vrf. Apply HTTPr as necessary.

Subscribers in VRF X/Y/Z, portal in VRF Q. Requires route leaking applied (ABF) on teh subscriber to move his traffic to the vrf Q. On the return path additional routes in vrf Q are necessary to route the pool adds back to the respective VRF X/Y/Z (complex, dont recommend that, nice if you have multiple vrf's and a single portal)

subscribers and portal in global, simple and easy but may not be desired if there are multiple service offerigns (eg vpls/vpws etc whereby your TLDP already runs in global also).

Sorry to hear you lost your device! But good to hear you're getting another one

Yeah I got it. I see that it's not quite easy. We will try to keep it simple as possible because of scalability.

I will know more when the devices are here

Have a nice weekend and thank you.

Hello Xander!

Few days ago I found new IOS XR version on cisco.com

There is an interesting new feature there. Built-in DHCP server.

And I have a question, Can we use this server in production for 10-20 thousands of subscribers?

I ask this question because earlier we used 7206 routers with built-in DHCP and cisco recommended not to use this feature in production.

xthuijs

hi andrew, correct the latest version 4.3.2 has an ipv6 dhcp server for prefix delegation. this is not for ipv4 however yet, that is coming later.

it is a highly scalable solution so it can be used for 1000's of subs!

cheers!
