NAS-Initiated Dial-in VPDN Tunneling
NAS-initiated dial-in VPDN tunneling is also known as compulsory tunneling. In NAS-initiated dial-in VPDN tunneling, the client dials in to the NAS through a medium that supports PPP. If the connection from the client to the Internet service provider (ISP) NAS is over a medium that is considered secure, such as DSL, ISDN, or the PSTN, the client might choose not to provide additional security. The PPP session is securely tunneled from the NAS to the tunnel server without any special knowledge or interaction required from the client. NAS-initiated dial-in VPDN tunnels use the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP).
A NAS-initiated dial-in tunneling scenario is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 NAS-Initiated Dial-In VPDN Scenario
L2TP Calling Station ID Suppression
In a NAS-initiated dial-in L2TP tunneling scenario, when the NAS connects to a tunnel server it transfers numerous attribute-value (AV) pairs as part of the session setup process. One of these AV pairs is L2TP AV pair 22, the Calling Number ID. The Calling Number ID AV pair includes the calling station ID of the originator of the session, which can be the phone number of the originator, the Logical Line ID (LLID) used to make the connection on the LAC, or the MAC address of the PC connecting to the network. This information can be considered sensitive in cases where the NAS and tunnel server are being managed by different entities. Depending on the security requirements of the NAS or end users, it might be desirable for the NAS to suppress part or all of the calling station ID.
Parts of the calling station ID can be masked, or the calling station ID can be removed completely. Calling station ID suppression can be configured globally on the NAS, for individual VPDN groups on the NAS, or on the remote RADIUS server if one is configured.
L2TP Failover
If a NAS fails to contact its peer during L2TP tunnel establishment, it can fail over to another configured tunnel server and attempt tunnel establishment with that device.
Failover can occur in these scenarios:
•
If the router sends a Start Control Connection Request (SCCRQ) a number of times and receives no response from the peer
•
If the router receives a Stop Control Connection Notification (StopCCN) from its peer
•
If the router receives a Call Disconnect Notify (CDN) message from its peer
In both the StopCCN control message and the CDN control message, a Result Code AV pair is included, which indicates the reason for tunnel or session termination, respectively. This AV pair might also include an optional Error Code, which further describes the nature of the termination. The various Result Code and Error Code values have been standardized in RFC 2661. Failover will occur if the combination of Result Code and Error Code values as defined in Table 1 is received from the peer.

When one of the three scenarios occurs, the router marks the peer IP address as busy for 60 seconds by default. During that time no attempt is made to establish a session or tunnel with the peer. The router selects an alternate peer to contact if one is configured. If a tunnel already exists to the alternate peer, new sessions are brought up in the existing tunnel. Otherwise, the router begins negotiations to establish a tunnel to the alternate peer.
How to Configure NAS-Initiated Dial-In VPDN Tunneling
In a NAS-initiated dial-in VPDN scenario, when a dial-in user requests contact with a remote network, the NAS must request the establishment of a VPDN tunnel to the tunnel server at the remote network. The tunnel server must be configured to accept the VPDN tunnels the NAS requests, and a virtual template interface must be established from which the tunnel server can clone a virtual access interface on demand.

What to Do Next
You must perform the task in the "Configuring the Virtual Template on the Tunnel Server" section.
Configuring the Virtual Template on the Tunnel Server
When a request to establish a tunnel is received by the tunnel server, the tunnel server must create a virtual access interface. The virtual access interface is cloned from a virtual template interface, used, and then freed when no longer needed. The virtual template interface is a logical entity that is not tied to any physical interface. Perform this task on the tunnel server to configure a basic virtual template.

DETAILED STEPS
Step 1
enable
Enter this command to enable privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted:
Step 2
show vpdn tunnel all
Enter this command to display details about all active VPDN tunnels. This example shows an example of "No active L2TP tunnels":
Router# show vpdn tunnel all
If no active tunnels have been established with the NAS, proceed with the following steps to troubleshoot the problem.
Step 3
ping ip-address
Enter this command to ping the NAS. The following output shows the result of a successful ping from the tunnel server to the NAS:
Router# ping 172.22.66.25
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.30.2.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 128/132/152 ms
If the tunnel server is unable to ping the NAS, there might be a problem with the routing path between the devices, or the NAS might not be functional.
Step 4
debug vpdn event
Enter the debug vpdn event command to display the VPDN events that occur during tunnel establishment. The following output from the tunnel server shows normal VPDN tunnel establishment for an L2TP tunnel:
20:19:17: L2TP: I SCCRQ from ts1 tnl 8
20:19:17: L2X: Never heard of ts1
20:19:17: Tnl 7 L2TP: New tunnel created for remote ts1, address 172.21.9.4
20:19:17: Tnl 7 L2TP: Got a challenge in SCCRQ, ts1

Step 5
debug vpdn errors
Enter this command to display error messages that are generated during tunnel establishment. The following output from the NAS shows an authentication failure during tunnel establishment.
Router# debug vpdn errors
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Async1, changed state to down
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Async1, changed state to reset
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Async1, changed state to down

VPDN tunnel management packet failed to authenticate
If an authentication failure occurs, verify that both the NAS and the tunnel server are configured with the same secret password. You can also perform tasks to verify L2TP tunnel establishment, PPP negotiations, and authentication with the remote client as described i the n Configuring AAA for VPDNs module.
Verifying the Connection Between the Client and the NAS
Perform this task to verify the connection between the dial-in client and the NAS.
SUMMARY STEPS
1.
Dial in to the NAS from a client PC.
2.
enable
3.
show caller user user
4.
show interfaces virtual-access number
5.
show vpdn session
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1
Dial in to the NAS from a client PC.
Ensure that the client PC is able to connect to the NAS by establishing a dial-in connection. As the call comes into the NAS, a LINK-3-UPDOWN message automatically appears on the NAS terminal screen. In the following example, the call comes into the NAS on asynchronous interface 14:
*Jan 1 21:22:18.410: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Async14, changed state to up
Note
No debug commands are turned on to display this log message. This message should be displayed within 30 seconds after the client first sends the call.
If this message is not displayed by the NAS, there is a problem with the dial-in configuration.
Step 2
enable
Enter this command to enable privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted:
Step 3
show caller user user
Enter this command on the tunnel server to verify that the client received an IP address. The following example shows that user3 is using IP address 10.0.0.1.
Router# show caller user user3@cisco.com
User: user3@cisco.com, line Vi2.502, service PPPoVPDN
Timeouts: Limit Remaining Timer Type
PPP: LCP Open, CHAP (<-), IPCP
IP: Local 10.0.0.1, remote 172.16.2.247
Counts: 2052 packets input, 32826 bytes
2053 packets output, 106742 bytes
If an incorrect IP address or no IP address is displayed, there is a problem with IP addresses assignment. Verify the configuration of the peer default ip address command in the virtual template on the tunnel server.
Step 4
show interfaces virtual-access number
Enter this command to verify that the interface is up, that LCP is open, and that no errors are reported. The following output shows a functional interface:
Router# show interfaces virtual-access 2.502
Virtual-Access2.502 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is Virtual Access interface
Interface is unnumbered. Using address of Loopback1001 (60.0.0.1)
MTU 1454 bytes, BW 2000000 Kbit, DLY 100000 usec,

2056 packets input, 32890 bytes
2057 packets output, 106950 bytes
Last clearing of ''show interface'' counters never
The virtual access interface is up and the line protocol is up, showing that virtual interface establishment was successful.
Step 5
show vpdn session
Enter this command on the tunnel server to verify that there are active VPDN sessions. This example shows output from a tunnel server with several active tunnels.
Router# show vpdn session

If there is no session established for the client, perform the troubleshooting steps in the "Verifying and Troubleshooting Tunnel Establishment Between the NAS and the Tunnel Server" section.
Configuring L2TP Calling Station ID Suppression
Calling station ID suppression can be configured globally on the NAS, for individual VPDN groups on the NAS, or on the remote RADIUS server if one is configured.
The order of precedence for L2TP calling station ID suppression configurations is as follows:
•
A RADIUS server configuration will take precedence over any configuration on the NAS.
•
A VPDN group configuration will take precedence over a global configuration for calls associated with that VPDN group.
•
A global configuration will be applied if no other method is configured.
Perform one or more of the following tasks to configure L2TP calling station ID suppression:
•
Configuring Global L2TP Calling Station ID Suppression on the NAS (optional)
•
Configuring L2TP Calling Station ID Suppression for a VPDN Group on the NAS (optional)
•
Configuring L2TP Calling Station ID Suppression on the NAS Remote RADIUS Server (optional)
Prerequisites for Configuring L2TP Calling Station ID Suppression
•
