IPSG Feature Changes
as of May 31, 2013
This section
provides information on IPSG feature changes in release 14.0.
IMPORTANT:
For more information
regarding features in this section, refer to the IPSG Administration
Guide for this release.
New IPSG Features
This section
identifies new IPSG features available in release 14.0.
Accounting Stop
Response in Packet of Disconnect (PoD) Event
IPSG does not respond
to RADIUS Accounting stop messages after a PoD is sent to GGSN, as
the subscriber at IPSG is cleared soon after the PoD is sent. With
this release, IPSG waits for the accounting stop request after sending
the PoD to the client for a configurable time.
Modified IPSG Features
This section
identifies IPSG features modified in release 14.0.
IPSG Support on
ASR 5500 Platform
With this release,
the ASR 5500 platform supports IPSG RADIUS Server configuration.
Previous Behavior:
IPSG was supported on the ASR 5000 platform only.
New Behavior: The
ASR 5500 platform now supports IPSG RADIUS Server configuration.
IPSG Command Changes
as of May 31, 2013
This section
provides information on IPSG command changes in release 14.0.
IMPORTANT:
For more information
regarding commands in this section, refer to the Command Line Interface
Reference for this release.
New IPSG Commands
This section
identifies new IPSG commands available in release 14.0.
Modified IPSG Commands
This section
identifies IPSG commands modified in release 14.0.
radius accounting
This command in the
IPSG RADIUS Server Configuration Mode allows you to specify the IP
address and shared secret of the RADIUS accounting client from which
RADIUS accounting requests are received. The RADIUS client can be
either the access gateway or the RADIUS accounting server depending
on which device is sending accounting requests.
The act-onoff keyword
specifies send accounting On/Off messages to AAA Server.
Previously, this option was applicable only to the IPSG Proxy Mode. With
this release, this option is applicable to both IPSG Proxy and Server
Modes.
configure
context context_name
ipsg-service
<service_name> mode radius-server
radius
accounting client { <ipv4/ipv6_address> | <ipv4/ipv6_address/mask> } [ encrypted ] key
<key> acct-onoff [ aaa-context <aaa_context_name> ] [ aaa-group
<aaa_server_group_name> ] [ clear-sessions ] + ]
end
The IPSG Server mode
does not send any messages to the AAA server. Instead, it will clear the
session, and send the response back.
radius accounting
This command in the
IPSG RADIUS Server Configuration Mode allows you to specify the IP
address and shared secret of the RADIUS accounting client from which
RADIUS accounting requests are received. The RADIUS client can be
either the access gateway or the RADIUS accounting server depending
on which device is sending accounting requests.
The release-on-acct-stop acct_stop_wait_timeout command
specifies to wait for the accounting stop request after sending
the Packet of Disconnect (PoD) to the client for the specified time.
This indicates the time to wait to clear the call in case IPSG does
not receive any accounting stop for the subscriber after sending
the PoD.
configure
context context_name
ipsg-service
<service_name> mode radius-server
radius
accounting client { <ipv4/ipv6_address> | <ipv4/ipv6_address/mask> } [ encrypted ] key
<key> disconnect-message release-on-acct-stop <acct_stop_wait_timeout>
end
Note: This keyword
is configured on a per RADIUS accounting client basis and not for
the entire service.
