Configuring ISG Policies for Regulating Network Access
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. ISG supports the use of policies for governing subscriber session bandwidth and network accessibility. This module provides information about the following methods of regulating session bandwidth and network access: Modular Quality of Service (QoS) command-line interface (CLI) policies, Dynamic Subscriber Bandwidth Selection (DBS), per-subscriber firewalls, and ISG policing.

Restrictions for ISG Policies for Regulating Network Access
Beginning in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRC, the Cisco 7600 router supports this feature with the following limitation:
- You cannot configure policing that requires the traffic class feature.
Information About ISG Policies for Regulating Network Access
Methods of Regulating Network Access
ISG supports the following methods of regulating network access. Each of these methods can be applied to an ISG session and can be dynamically updated.
Modular QoS CLI (MQC) Policies
QoS policies configured using the MQC are supported for subscriber sessions only. MQC policies cannot be applied to ISG services.
Dynamic Subscriber Bandwidth Selection (DBS)
DBS enables you to control bandwidth at the ATM virtual circuit (VC) level. ATM QoS parameters from the subscriber domain are applied to the ATM permanent virtual circuit (PVC) on which a PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) or PPP over ATM (PPPoA) session has been established.
 Note |
DBS is not supported on the Cisco 7600 series router in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRC. |
Per-Subscriber Firewalls
Per-subscriber firewalls are access control lists (ACLs) that are used to prevent subscribers, services, and pass-through traffic from accessing specific IP addresses and ports. Per-subscriber firewalls can be configured in user profiles and service profiles.
ISG Policing
ISG policing supports policing of upstream and downstream traffic. ISG policing differs from policing configured using the MQC in that ISG policing can be configured in service profiles to support policing of traffic flows. MQC policies cannot be configured in service profiles. ISG policing can also be configured in user profiles and service profiles to support session policing.
Note |
ISG Policing is not supported on the Cisco 7600 series router in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRC. |
Overview of ISG Policing
Traffic policing allows you to control the maximum rate of traffic sent or received on an interface. Policing is often configured on interfaces at the edge of a network to limit traffic into or out of the network. Traffic that falls within the rate parameters is sent, whereas traffic that exceeds the parameters is dropped or sent with a different priority.
ISG policing supports policing of upstream and downstream traffic and can be applied to a session or a flow. The following sections describe session-based policing and flow-based policing.
Session-Based Policing
Session-based policing applies to the aggregate of subscriber traffic for a session. In the figure below, session policing would be applied to all traffic moving from the PPPoE client to ISG and from ISG to the PPPoE client.
| Figure 1 | Session-Based Policing |
Session-based policing parameters can be configured on a AAA server in either a user profile or a service profile that does not specify a traffic class. It can also be configured on the router in a service policy map. Session-based policing parameters that are configured in a user profile take precedence over session-based policing parameters configured in a service profile or service policy map.
Flow-Based Policing
Flow-based policing applies only to the destination-based traffic flows that are specified by a traffic class. In the figure below, flow-based policing would allow you to police the traffic between the PPPoE client and Internet 1 or Internet 2.
| Figure 2 | Flow-Based Policing |
Flow-based policing can be configured on a AAA server in a service profile that specifies a traffic class. It can also be configured on the router under a traffic class in a service policy map. Flow-based policing and session-based policing can coexist and operate simultaneously on subscriber traffic.
Per-Subscriber Firewalls
Per-subscriber firewalls are Cisco IOS ACLs that are used to prevent subscribers, services, and pass-through traffic from accessing specific IP addresses and ports.
ACLs can be configured in user profiles or service profiles on a AAA server or in service policy maps on ISG. The ACLs can be numbered or named access lists that are configured on ISG, or the ACL statements can be included in the profile configuration.
When an ACL is added to a service, all subscribers of that service are prevented from accessing the specified IP address, subnet mask, and port combinations through the service.
When an ACL attribute is added to a user profile, it applies globally to all traffic for the subscriber.
How to Configure ISG Policies for Regulating Network Access

DETAILED STEPS
Examples
The following example shows output for the show subscriber session command when policing parameters have been configured in the service profile. The “Config level” field indicates where the policing parameters are configured; in this case, in the service profile.
Router# show subscriber session detailed
Current Subscriber Information: Total sessions 2
Unique Session ID: 1
.....
Session inbound features:
Feature: Policing
Upstream Params:
Average rate = 24000, Normal burst = 4500, Excess burst = 9000
Config level = Service
Session outbound features:
Feature: Policing
Dnstream Params:
Average rate = 16000, Normal burst = 3000, Excess burst = 6000
Config level = Service
.....
The following example shows output for the show subscriber session command where upstream policing parameters are specified in a user profile and downstream policing parameters are specified in a service profile.
Router# show subscriber session all
Current Subscriber Information: Total sessions 2
Unique Session ID: 2
.....
Session inbound features:
Feature: Policing
Upstream Params:
Average rate = 24000, Normal burst = 4500, Excess burst = 9000
Config level = Per-user ===========> Upstream parameters are specified in
the user profile.
Session outbound features:
Feature: Policing
Dnstream Params:
Average rate = 16000, Normal burst = 3000, Excess burst = 6000
Config level = Service ============> No downstream parameters in the user
profile, hence the parameters in the service profile are applied.

Per-Subscriber Firewalls Examples
The following example shows per-subscriber firewalls configured in a user profile or service profile on the AAA server. In this case the ACLs 104 and 105 are configured on the router. “In” and “out” represent the inbound and outbound directions of ACL application.
Cisco-AVpair="ip:inacl=104", Cisco-AVpair="ip:outacl=105"
The following example shows per-subscriber firewalls configured in a user profile or service profile on the AAA server. In this case the named ACLs are configured on the router.
Cisco-AVpair="ip:inacl=named-inacl-123", Cisco-AVpair="ip:outacl=named-outacl-123"
The following example of per-subscriber firewall configuration includes the individual ACL statements in the user profile or service profile configuration:
Cisco-AVpair="ip:inacl#1=deny icmp host 10.0.25.25 host 10.0.3.3", Cisco-AVpair="ip:inacl#2=permit ip any any", Cisco-AVpair="ip:outacl#1=permit ip any any"
Verifying ISG Per-Subscriber Firewalls
Perform this task to verify the configuration of ISG per-subscriber firewalls.
DETAILED STEPS
Examples
The following example is sample output for the show subscriber session detailed command. Information about per-subscriber firewalls appears in the “Session inbound features” and “Session outbound features” fields.

--------------------------------------------------
Session inbound features:
Feature: Access lists
Active IP access list:
