Establishing PPPoE Session Limits per NAS Port
The PPPoE Session Limits per NAS Port feature enables you to limit the number of PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) sessions on a specific permanent virtual circuit (PVC) or VLAN configured on an L2TP access concentrator (LAC). The network access server (NAS) port is either an ATM PVC or a configured VLAN ID. PPPoE per-NAS-port session limits are maintained in a RADIUS server customer profile database and are downloaded during Subscriber Service Switch (SSS) preauthorization.

Both the LAC and the L2TP Network Server (LNS) must be running a Cisco IOS image that supports the PPPoE Session Limit Per NAS Port feature.
Protocol support for broadband access aggregation must be established using the procedures in the "Providing Protocol Support for Broadband Access Aggregation of PPPoE Sessions" module.
Restrictions for Establishing PPPoE Session Limits per NAS Port
Do not configure the PPPoE per-NAS-port session limit to zero.
PPPoE Session Limit per NAS Port does not support TACACS+.
PPPoE Session Limit per NAS Port applies only to PVCs and VLANs.

How PPPoE per-NAS-Port Session Limits Work
The PPPoE Session Limits Per NAS Port feature limits the number of PPPoE sessions on a specific PVC or VLAN configured on an LAC. The NAS port is either an ATM PVC or a configured VLAN ID.
The PPPoE per-NAS-port session limit is maintained in a RADIUS server customer profile database. This customer profile database is connected to an LAC and is separate from the RADIUS server that the LAC and LNS use for the authentication and authorization of incoming users. See below for a sample network topology. When the customer profile database receives a preauthorization request from the LAC, it sends the PPPoE per-NAS-port session limit to the LAC.
The LAC sends a preauthorization request to the customer profile database when the LAC is configured for SSS preauthorization. When the LAC receives the PPPoE per-NAS-port session limit from the customer profile database, the LAC compares the PPPoE per-NAS-port session limit with the number of sessions currently on the NAS port. The LAC then decides whether to accept or reject the current call, depending upon the configured PPPoE per NAS port-session-limit and the number of calls currently on the NAS port. PPPoE Session Limit per NAS Port Sample Topology
The customer profile database consists of a user profile for each user that is connected to the LAC. Each user profile contains the NAS-IP-Address (attribute 4) and the NAS-Port-ID (attribute 5.) When the LAC is configured for SSS preauthorization, it queries the customer profile database using the username. When a match is found in the customer profile database, the customer profile database sends the PPPoE per-NAS-port session limit in the user profile. The PPPoE per-NAS-port session limit is defined in the username as a Cisco attribute-value (AV) pair.
Relationship Between the Per-NAS-Port Session Limit and Other Types of Session Limits
You can configure types of session limits other than per-NAS-sort sessions on the LAC, including session limit per VC, per VLAN, per MAC, and a global session limit for the LAC. When PPPoE session limits for a NAS port are enabled (that is, when you have enabled SSS preauthorization on the LAC), local configurations for session limits per VC and per VLAN are overwritten by the PPPoE per-NAS-port session limit downloaded from the customer profile database. Configured session limits per VC and per VLAN serve as backups in case of a download failure of the PPPoE per-NAS-port session limit. Global session limits and per-MAC session limits, if configured on the router, will take effect as other means of limiting PPPoE sessions.
Benefits of PPPoE Session Limits per NAS Port
PPPoE session limits per NAS port provides flexibility and simplifies router configuration by allowing you to download the per-VC and per-VLAN session limits from a RADIUS server in addition to being able to configure them on the router.

Configuring the User Profile for PPPoE Session Limits per NAS Port Example
The following example shows how to configure the user profile for PPPoE session limits per NAS port. In this example, the user has a PVC with a VPI of 1 and a VCI of 100 on ATM interface 4/0/0 of the LAC with an IP address of 10.10.10.10:
Username=nas_port:10.10.10.10:4/0/0/1.100 Password = "password1" cisco-avpair= "pppoe:session-limit=<session limit per NAS-port>"
