Configuring ISG Policies for Automatic Subscriber Logon
Intelligent Services Gateway (ISG) is a Cisco IOS software feature set that provides a structured framework in which edge devices can deliver flexible and scalable services to subscribers. This module contains information on how to configure ISG to use specified identifiers in place of the username in authorization requests, enabling a user profile to be downloaded from an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server as soon as packets are received from a subscriber.

Prerequisites for ISG Automatic Subscriber Logon
Depending on your AAA implementation, you may need to configure one of the following identifiers in the password field of the user profile: source IP address, MAC address, remote ID, circuit ID. You may also need to configure a global address in the password field.
To use circuit ID and remote ID for authorization for IP sessions, the DSLAM must insert the circuit ID and remote ID in the DHCP Option 82 information.
To use remote ID for authorization of PPPoE sessions, the PPPoE client must provide the remote ID information in the PPPoE Tag ID or line ID.
Restrictions for ISG Automatic Subscriber Logon
The username field in an authorization request has a limit of 253 characters.
Automatic subscriber logon based on traffic class cannot be configured on the Cisco 7600 router.

Overview of ISG Automatic Subscriber Logon
Service providers commonly implement a policy at the start of IP sessions that redirects all subscriber packets to a logon portal for authentication. Following successful authentication, per-subscriber authorization data is typically returned from a AAA server. For some deployments, usually in subscriber networks that are well protected against spoofing and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, service providers are willing to forgo authentication and trust subscriber identity. ISG automatic subscriber logon allows service providers to grant certain subscribers access to services without requiring the subscribers to log on.
ISG automatic subscriber logon enables a specified identifier to be used in place of the username in authorization requests. Enabling the AAA server to authorize subscribers on the basis of a specified identifier allows subscriber profiles to be downloaded from the AAA server as soon as packets are received from subscribers.
The event that triggers automatic subscriber logon is session-start. For IP sessions, session-start occurs when a DHCP DISCOVER request is received or when an unrecognized source IP address is detected. For PPPoE sessions, session-start occurs when a client attempts to initiate a session by sending a PPPoE Active Discovery Initiation (PADI) packet.
Supported Identifiers for ISG Automatic Subscriber Logon
For IP sessions, an ISG device can be configured to use the following identifiers in place of the username in authorization requests: IP address, MAC address, circuit ID, remote ID, or a combination of the circuit ID and remote ID.
For PPPoE sessions, an ISG device can be configured to use the remote ID in place of the username in authorization requests.
Authorization Based on Circuit ID and Remote ID
The circuit ID and remote ID fields are part of the DHCP relay agent information option (also referred to as Option 82) and the PPPoE Tag VSA. These fields are inserted into DHCP and PPPoE messages by a DSLAM. An ISG device can be configured to use the circuit ID, remote ID, or a combination of circuit ID and remote ID as the username in authorization requests.
By default, the ISG device will use the circuit ID and remote ID that are provided by the Layer 2 edge access device for authorization. If the ip dhcp relay information option command is configured, the ISG device will use the circuit ID and remote ID that are received in a DHCP message.
Accounting Behavior When ISG Automatic Subscriber Logon Is Configured
Accounting Behavior for MAC-Address-Based Authorization
If the MAC address is sent as the username in authorization requests, the MAC address will also be sent as the Calling Station ID in accounting records.
Accounting Behavior for Remote-ID- and Circuit-ID-Based Authorization
For IP sessions that use DHCP Option 82 authorization, accounting messages are sent to the AAA server with the Circuit ID and Remote ID Cisco VSAs. Although you can configure a combination of circuit ID and remote ID as the username for authorization, the attributes are sent individually in accounting records. You can also configure the circuit ID and remote ID to be sent together in accounting records as the NAS Port ID.
For PPPoE sessions, the Remote ID VSA is sent in accounting records, and the remote ID is also sent as the NAS Port ID.
If the radius-server attribute 31 remote-id command is configured, the remote ID is sent in accounting records as the Calling Station ID.

Configuring an ISG Control Policy for Automatic Subscriber Logon
Perform this task to configure an ISG control policy that initiates subscriber authorization and inserts a specified identifier into the username field of the authorization request.
DETAILED STEPS
What to Do Next
You must apply the control policy to a context by using the service-policy type control command. For information about applying control policies, see the module "Configuring ISG Control Policies".
You may want to configure policies to determine what should happen for autologon subscribers whose IP address or MAC address authorization fails; for example, you may want to redirect the subscriber to the policy server for authentication.
Enabling the Remote-ID to Be Sent as the Calling-Station-ID
Perform this task to enable the ISG device to send the remote ID in the Calling-Station-ID (attribute 31) field of accounting records and access requests.
DETAILED STEPS
| Command or Action | Purpose | |
|---|---|---|
|
|

If automatic subscriber authorization was not successful, the session will still be brought up, but in the state “unauthen”. The following sample output shows information for a session for which automatic subscriber authorization was successful: Example: Router# show subscriber session all Current Subscriber Information: Total sessions 1 -------------------------------------------------- Unique Session ID: 3 Identifier: aabb.cc01.3000 SIP subscriber access type(s): IP Example: Current SIP options: Req Fwding/Req Fwded Session Up-time: 00:00:24, Last Changed: 00:00:21 Policy information: Authentication status: authen Rules, actions and conditions executed: subscriber rule-map DEFAULT condition always event session-start 1 authorize identifier mac-address Session inbound features: Feature: IP Idle Timeout Timeout value is 600 Idle time is 00:00:21 Configuration sources associated with this session: Interface: Ethernet0/0, Active Time = 00:00:24 |
Configuration Examples for ISG Automatic Subscriber Logon
Automatic Subscriber Logon Based on IP Address Example
In the following example, if the client is from the 1.1.1.0 subnet, the ISG sends an authorization request to the list “TAL_LIST” with the subscriber’s source IP address as the username. If the authorization request is successful, any automatic-activation services specified in the returned user profile are activated for the session, and the execution of rules within the control policy stops. If the authorization is not successful, the rule execution proceeds, and the subscriber is redirected to the policy server to log in. If the subscriber does not log in within five minutes, the session is disconnected.
