> IPSG RADIUS Snoop Configuration Mode Commands
> The IP Services Gateway (IPSG) RADIUS Snoop Configuration Mode is used to create and configure IPSG services within the current system context. The IPSG RADIUS Snoop Mode configures the system to inspect RADIUS accounting requests on the way to the RADIUS accounting server and extract user information.
> Important: The commands or keywords/variables that are available are dependent on platform type, product version, and installed license(s).
> bind
> Configures the service to accept data on any interface configured in the context. Optionally allows the system to limit the number of sessions processed by this service.
> Product
> IPSG
> Privilege
> Security Administrator, Administrator
> Syntax
> bind [ max-subscribers num ]
> no bind
> no
> Removes the binding for the service.
> max-subscribers num
> Specifies the maximum number of subscriber sessions allowed for the service. If this option is not configured, the system defaults to the license limit.
> In Release 8.x, on an ASR 5000 chassis, num must be an integer from 0 through 3000000.
> In Release 9.0 and later, num must be an integer from 0 through 4000000.
> Usage
> Use this command to initiate the service and begin accepting data on any interface configured in the context.
> Example
> The following command prepares the system to receive subscriber sessions on any interface in the context and limits the sessions to 10000:
> bind max-subscribers 10000
> connection authorization
> Sets the RADIUS authorization password that must be matched by the RADIUS accounting requests “snooped” by this service.
> Product
> IPSG
> Privilege
> Security Administrator, Administrator
> Syntax
> connection authorization { [ encrypted ] password password }
> no connection authorization
> no
> Removes the RADIUS authorization for the IPSG RADIUS snoop service.
> [ encrypted ] password password
> encrypted: Indicates that the received RADIUS authorization password is encrypted.
> password password: Specifies the password that must be matched by incoming RADIUS accounting requests.
> password must be an alpha and/or numeric string of 1 through 63 characters in length.
> Usage
> RADIUS accounting requests being examined by the IPSG RADIUS snoop service are destined for a RADIUS Accounting Server. Since the “snoop” service does not terminate user authentication, the user password is unknown.
> Use this command to configure the authorization password that the RADIUS accounting requests must match in order for the service to examine and extract user information.
> Example
> The following command sets the RADIUS authorization password that must be matched by the RADIUS accounting requests “snooped” by this service. The password must be encrypted and the example provided is the word “secret”.
> connection authorization encrypted password secret
> end
> Exits the current mode and returns to the Exec Mode.
> Product
> All
> Privilege
> Security Administrator, Administrator
> Syntax

> Usage
> Use this command to change to the Exec Mode.
> exit
> Exits the current mode and returns to the parent configuration mode.
> Product
> All
> Privilege
> Security Administrator, Administrator
> Syntax
> exit
> Usage
> Use this command to returns to the parent configuration mode.
> radius
> Specifies RADIUS Accounting Servers where accounting requests are sent after being “inspected” by this service.

> Privilege
> Security Administrator, Administrator
> Syntax
> [ no ] radius { accounting server address [ port num | source-context name ] | dictionary { 3gpp2 | 3gpp2-835 | custom XX | standard | starent | starent-835 | starent-vsa1 | starent-vsa1-835 } }
> no
> Removes the RADIUS accounting server identifier from this service.
> radius accounting server address
> Specifies the IP address of a RADIUS Accounting Server where accounting requests are sent after being “snooped” by this service. address must be specified using standard IPv4 or IPv6 dotted decimal notation and must be a valid IP address.
> Up to 16 addresses can be configured.
> port num
> Default: 1813
> Specifies the port number of the RADIUS Accounting Server where accounting requests are sent after being “snooped” by this service.
> num must be an integer from 0 through 65535.
> source-context name
> Specifies the source context where RADIUS accounting requests are received.
> name must be an alpha and/or numeric string of 1 through 79 characters in length.
> If this keyword is not configured, the system will default to the context in which the IPSG service is configured.
> disctionary { 3gpp2 | 3gpp2-835 | custom XX | standard | starent | starent-835 | starent-vsa1 | starent-vsa1-835 }
> Specifies what dictionary database to use. The possible values are described in the following table:

> Dictionary | Description
> 3gpp | This dictionary consists not only of all of the attributes in the standard dictionary, but also all of the attributes specified in 3GPP 32.015.
> 3gpp2 | This dictionary consists not only of all of the attributes in the standard dictionary, but also all of the attributes specified in IS-835-A.
> 3gpp2-835 | This dictionary consists not only of all of the attributes in the standard dictionary, but also all of the attributes specified in IS-835.
> custom XX | These are dictionaries that can be customized to fit your needs. Customization information can be attained by contacting your local service representative. XX is the integer value of the custom dictionary. Important: RADIUS dictionary custom23 should be used in conjunction with Enhanced Charging Service (ECS). Refer to the Enhanced Charging Service Configuration and Reference Guide for more information.
> standard | This dictionary consists only of the attributes specified in RFC 2865, RFC 2866, and RFC 2869.
> starent | This dictionary consists of all of the attributes in the starent-vsa1 dictionary and incorporates additional Starent Networks VSAs by using a two-byte VSA Type field. This dictionary is the master-set of all of the attributes in all of the dictionaries supported by the system.
> starent-835 | This dictionary consists of all of the attributes in the starent-vsa1-835 dictionary and incorporates additional Starent Networks VSAs by using a two-byte VSA Type field. This dictionary is the master-set of all of the attributes in all of the -835 dictionaries supported by the system.
> starent-vsa1 | This dictionary consists not only of the 3gpp2 dictionary, but also includes Starent Networks vendor-specific attributes (VSAs) as well. The VSAs in this dictionary support a one-byte wide VSA Type field in order to support certain RADIUS applications. The one-byte limit allows support for only 256 VSAs (0 - 255). This is the default dictionary.
> starent-vsa1-835 | This dictionary consists not only of the 3gpp2-835 dictionary, but also includes Starent Networks vendor-specific attributes (VSAs) as well.

> ‌
> Usage
> Use this command to specify the RADIUS Accounting Servers where accounting requests are sent after being snooped by this service.
> Example
> The following command specifies the IP address (1.2.3.4) of a RADIUS Accounting Server whose accounting requests are to be “snooped”, and the source context (aaa_ingress) where the requests are received on the system:
> radius accounting server 1.2.3.4 source-context aaa_ingress
> setup-timeout
> Configures a timeout value for IPSG session setup attempts.
> Product
> IPSG
> Privilege
> Security Administrator, Administrator
> Syntax
> setup-timeout seconds
> default setup-timeout
> seconds
> Default: 60
> Specifies the period of time, in seconds, the IPSG session setup is allowed to continue before the setup attempt is terminated.
> seconds must be an integer from 1 through 100000.
> Usage
> Use this command to prevent IPSG session setup attempts from continuing without termination.
> Example
> The following command sets the session setup timeout to 20 seconds:
> setup-timeout 20
