Configuring ISG Control Policies

Last Updated: June 12, 2011

Intelligent Services Gateway (ISG) is a Cisco IOS XE software feature set that provides a structured framework in which edge devices can deliver flexible and scalable services to subscribers. ISG control policies are a means of defining the actions the system will take in response to specified conditions and events. A wide variety of system actions, conditions, and events can be combined using a consistent policy language, providing a flexible and precise way of configuring ISG. This module provides information about how to configure ISG control policies.

Prerequisites for ISG Control Policies

Authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) method lists must be configured prior to defining authentication and authorization actions.

Restrictions for ISG Control Policies

Control policies are activated for specific contexts, not directly on sessions. Control policies apply to all sessions hosted on the context.

Only one control policy map may be applied to a given context.

Control policies can be defined only through the router’s command-line interface (CLI).

Not all actions may be associated with all events.

A new control class may not be inserted between existing control classes once a control policy map has been defined.

Information About ISG Control Policies

Control Policies

Control policies define the actions that the system will take in response to specified events and conditions. For example, a control policy can be configured to authenticate specific subscribers and then provide them with access to specific services.

A control policy is made of one or more control policy rules. A control policy rule is an association of a control class and one or more actions. The control class defines the conditions that must be met before the actions will be executed.

Three steps are involved in defining a control policy:

  1. Create one or more control class maps.

A control class map specifies the conditions that must be met for a policy to be activated, and, optionally, the event that causes the class to be evaluated. A control class map may contain multiple conditions, each of which will evaluate to either true or false. Match directives can be used to specify whether all, any, or none of the individual conditions must evaluate true in order for the class to evaluate true.

  1. Create a control policy map.

A control policy map contains one or more control policy rules. A control policy rule associates a control class map with one or more actions. Actions are numbered and executed sequentially.

  1. Apply the control policy map.

A control policy map is activated by applying it to a context. A control policy map can be applied to one or more of the following types of contexts. In the following list, the context types are listed in order of precedence. For example, a control policy map that is applied to a PVC takes precedence over a control policy map that is applied to an interface.

    • Permanent virtual circuit (PVC)
    • Virtual circuit (VC) class
    • Virtual template
    • Subinterface
    • Interface
    • Global

In general, control policy maps that are applied to more specific contexts take precedence over policy maps applied to more general contexts.


Note
Traffic policies are another type of policy used by ISG. Traffic policies define the handling of data packets and are configured in service policy maps or service profiles. For more information about traffic policies, see the "Configuring ISG Subscriber Services" module.

Differentiated Initial Policy Control

Authentication failure for a subscriber may happen for an access-reject (which means a RADIUS server responded with a Reject) or due to an access request timeout (RADIUS server is unreachable).

Using ISG control policies, and actions configured for the 'radius-timeout' and 'access-reject' events, the system can distinguish between the different reasons for an authentication failure. Different events are thrown by the system (for example, a received authentication reject or an unavailable RADIUS server event). This allows the control policy to specify different actions for each type of authentication failure. For example, if the RADIUS server is down or unreachable, temporary access can be given to subscribers.

This feature is available only for IP-based sessions for subscriber authentication. This feature does not support the Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) sessions.

Uses of Control Policies

Use control policies to configure an ISG to perform specific actions in response to specific events and conditions. For example, control policies could be used for the following purposes:

  • To activate a default service when a subscriber session is first detected
  • To sequence the gathering of subscriber identity, where a control protocol exists on the access side
  • To determine how the system responds to an idle timeout or to a subscriber who has run out of credit
  • To enable transparent automatic login, which enables authorization on the basis of an IP address or MAC address
  • To configure the maximum amount of time a session can remain unauthenticated
  • To send periodic session state information to other devices

Configuring a Control Policy Map

A control policy map contains one or more control policy rules that associate a control class with one or more actions. Perform this task to configure a control policy map.


Note
The actions that can be configured in a policy rule depend on the type of event that is specified by the class type control command. For example, if the account-logoff event is specified, the only action that can be configured in that policy rule is service. The procedure in this section shows all actions that can be configured in a policy map.

Control Policy for Restricting Access on the Basis of Interface and Access Media Example

This example shows how to configure a control policy to allow access only to users who enter the router from a particular interface and access type. In this case, only PPPoE users will be allowed; everyone else is barred.

The first condition class map “MATCHING-USERS” evaluates true only if all of the lines within it also evaluate true; however, within “MATCHING-USERS” is a nested class map (second condition), “NOT-ATM”. This nested class map represents a subcondition that must also evaluate to true. Note that the class map “NOT-ATM” specifies “match-none”. This means that “NOT-ATM” evaluates to true only if every condition line within it evaluates to false.

The third condition specifies matching on the NAS port associated with this subscriber. Specifically, only subscribers that arrive on a Gigabit Ethernet interface and on slot 3 will evaluate to true.

! Configure the control class maps.
class-map type control match-all MATCHING-USERS
 class type control NOT-ATM
 match media ether
 match nas-port type ether slot 3
!
class-map type control match-none NOT-ATM
 match media atm
!

If the conditions in the class map “MATCHING-USERS” evaluate to true, the first action to be executed is to authenticate the user. If authentication is successful, the service named “service1” will be downloaded and applied. Finally, a Layer 3 service is provided.

If “MATCHING-USERS” is not evaluated as true, the “always” class will apply, which results in barring anyone who does not match “MATCHING-USERS”.

! Configure the control policy map.
policy-map type control my-pppoe-rule
 class type control MATCHING-USERS event session-start
  1 authenticate aaa list XYZ
  2 service-policy type service service1
  3 service local
!

class type control always

  1 service disconnect
!
! Apply the control policy to an interface.
interface gigabitethernet3/0/0
 service-policy type control my-pppoe-rule

Finally, the policy is associated with an interface.

Default Method Lists

If you specify the default method list for any of the control policy actions, the default list will not display in the output from the show running-config command. For example, if you configure the following command:

Router(config-control-policymap-class-control)# 1 authenticate aaa list default

The following will display in the output from the show running-config command:

1 authenticate

Control Policies for Automatic Subscriber Login Example

In the following example, if the client is from the a subnet, automatic subscriber login is applied and an authorization request is sent to the list TALLIST 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.

interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
 service-policy type control RULEA
aaa authentication login TALLIST group radius
aaa authentication login LOCAL local
access-list 100 permit ip any any
class-map type traffic match-any all-traffic
 match access-group input 100
 match access-group output 100

policy-map type service redirectprofile

 class type traffic all-traffic
  redirect to ip 10.0.0.148 port 8080
class-map type control match-all CONDA
 match source-ip-address 209.165.201.1 255.255.255.0 
!
class-map type control match-all CONDF
 match timer TIMERB
 match authen-status unauthenticated
policy-map type control RULEA
 class type control CONDA event session-start
  1 authorize aaa list TAL_LIST password cisco identifier source-ip-address
  2 apply aaa list LOCAL service redirectprofile
  3 set-timer TIMERB 5 minutes
 class type control CONDF event timed-policy-expiry

1 service disconnect

Feature Configuration Information

ISG: Policy Control: Policy: Domain Based (Autodomain, Proxy)

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.2

ISG control policies manage the primary services and rules used to enforce particular contracts. These policies include programmable interfaces to dynamic triggers and conditional logic to be applied to flows within a session, or other characteristics of a session, upon meeting the policy criteria. Policies can be configured to interpret the domain as a request to activate the service associated with that domain name, allowing users to automatically receive services in accordance with the domain to which they are attempting to connect.

ISG: Policy Control: Policy: Triggers

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.2

ISG control policies can be configured with time-based, volume-based, and duration-based policy triggers. Time-based triggers use an internal clock, allowing policies to be applied at specific times. Volume-based triggers are based on packet count; when the packet count reaches a specified value, the specified policy is applied. Duration-based triggers are based on an internal timer. Upon expiration of the timer, the specified policy is applied.

ISG: Policy Control: Multidimensional Identity per Session

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.2

ISG control policies provide a flexible way to collect pieces of subscriber identity information during session establishment. Control policies also allow session policy to be applied iteratively as more elements of identity information become available to the system.

ISG: Policy Control: Cisco Policy Language

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.2

ISG control policies are a structured replacement for feature-specific configuration commands and allow configurable functionality to be expressed in terms of an event, a condition, and an action. Control policies provide an intuitive and extensible framework, with a consistent set of CLI commands, for specifying system behavior.

ISG: Policy Control: Differentiated Initial Policy Control

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5.0

This features provides the ability to distinguish RADIUS authentication rejects from RADIUS server unavailability. It allows minimal or temporary network access to the subscribers when the RADIUS servers are down or cannot be accessed because of network problems or when an authentication reject is received for a subscriber.

In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)XNE, support was added for the Cisco 10000 Series Routers.
