Finding Feature Information
Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest caveats and feature information, see Bug Search Tool and the release notes for your platform and software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the feature information table.

Information About PPP for IPv6
Accounting Start and Stop Messages
PPP calls a registry to allow DHCPv6 to append the delegated prefix information to accounting start and stop messages. When accounting is configured for a DHCPv6 pool, accounting interim packets are sent to broadband sessions after binding is provided from the pool.
Forced Release of a Binding
The DHCPv6 server maintains an automatic binding table in memory to track the assignment of some configuration parameters, such as prefixes between the server and its clients. The automatic bindings can be stored permanently in the database agent, which can be, for example, a remote TFTP server or local NVRAM file system.
DHCPv6 invokes a routine when the virtual interface used by PPP terminates. This routine automatically releases any delegated prefix bindings associated with the PPP virtual interface that is being terminated.
When a PPP virtual interface terminates, the routine runs through the full table of DHCPv6 bindings checking for the matching interface. Because PPP uses a virtual interface, this subroutine clears any related lease information when the PPP connection terminates.
 Note | In IPv6 broadband deployment using DHCPv6, you must enable release of prefix bindings associated with a PPP virtual interface using the ipv6 dhcp binding track ppp command. This ensures that DHCPv6 bindings are tracked together with PPP sessions, and in the event of DHCP REBIND failure, the client initiates DHCPv6 negotiation again. |
Delegated-IPv6-Prefix
The Delegated-IPv6-Prefix attribute calls DHCPv6 to parse and store AAA attribute information. PPP sends the accounting start and stop messages for PPP sessions.
The following is an example of a Delegated-IPv6-Prefix attribute:
cisco-avpair = ipv6:delegated-prefix=2001:DB8::/64
Note | The Delegated-IPv6-Prefix attribute does not support the Cisco VSA format. If you try add this attribute in the cisco-vsa format in the profile, the RADIUS server response fails. Use only the IETF attribute for Delegated-IPv6-Prefix. |
PPP IPv6 Accounting Delay Enhancements
This feature enhances accounting records for dual-stack networks. It ensures that a unique IPv6 address is assigned to PPP IPv6 and IPv4 sessions for IP addresses that are received from RADIUS.
When this feature is enabled, it automatically creates a database to hold new incoming access-accept responses from RADIUS. The access-accept responses in this database are then checked for duplicates of a specific set of attributes. If the attributes are already present in the database, then the RADIUS server has already offered them to an existing session; therefore, the new session is immediately removed and a stop-record message sent. If none of the specific set of attributes are in the database, they are immediately added to the database, and the session proceeds normally. When the session is removed, the entries in the database are also removed.
The following RADIUS attributes are tracked in the database and checked at access-accept time:
Framed-IPv6-Prefix
Delegated-IPv6-Prefix
The attributes are available as standard RFC-defined binary format, or as Cisco VSAs. (The Delegated-IPv6-Prefix attribute currently does not have a VSA definition in AAA.)
