Prerequisites for Configuring a Subscriber Service Switch Policy

Before configuring a Subscriber Service Switch policy, you must understand the concepts presented in the "Understanding Broadband Access Aggregation" module.
Before configuring a Subscriber Service Switch policy, you must perform the PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) configuration procedures in the "Providing Protocol Support for Broadband Access Aggregation of PPPoE Sessions" module or perform the PPP over ATM (PPPoA) configuration procedures in the "Providing Protocol Support for Broadband Access Aggregation of PPP over ATM Sessions" module.

Restrictions for Configuring a Subscriber Service Switch Policy

The Subscriber Service Switch provides the framework for the management and scalability of PPP sessions that are switched from one virtual PPP link to another. The Subscriber Server Switch provides the infrastructure for any protocol to plug into; however, the initial implementation provides switching PPP over Ethernet and PPP over ATM session to a Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) device such as an L2TP access concentrator (LAC) switch, and switching L2TP sessions to an L2TP tunnel switch only.

Information About the Subscriber Service Switch

The Subscriber Service Switch was developed in response to a need by Internet service providers (ISPs) for increased scalability and extensibility for remote access service selection and Layer 2 subscriber policy management. This Layer 2 subscriber policy is needed to manage tunneling of PPP in a policy-based bridging fashion.

Benefits of the Subscriber Service Switch

The Subscriber Service Switch provides the framework for the management and scalability of PPP sessions that are switched from one virtual PPP link to another. It gives Internet service providers (ISPs) the flexibility to determining which services to provide to subscribers, the number of subscribers, and how to define the services. In the past, remote access service selection was largely determined by the telephone number dialed or the PPP username and password entered during a PPP authentication cycle. However, broadband, cable, Virtual Private Network (VPN), and wireless access methods have created an environment where PPP sessions may be tunneled over a variety of protocols and media. The multitude of protocols, management domains, network infrastructure, and variety of services has created a complex environment for directing a subscriber to a given service or application. The problem is further complicated by the much greater density of total PPP sessions that can be transported over shared media versus traditional point-to-point links. The Subscriber Service Switch can provide a flexible and extensible decision point linking an incoming subscriber (typically a PPP session over some physical or virtual link) to another tunneled link or local termination for Layer 3 processing.

The Subscriber Service Switch is also scalable in situations where a subscriber’s Layer 2 service is switched across virtual links. Examples include switching among PPPoA, PPPoE, L2TP, Layer 2 Forwarding Protocol (L2F), Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), generic routing encapsulation (GRE), and General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Tunneling Protocol (GTP wireless data standard).

The figure below shows how the Subscriber Service Switch provides its own centralized switching path that bypasses the virtual-access-based switching available earlier. In the figure below, the Subscriber Service Switch is switching data traffic from personal computers in a home and corporate office and from a wireless user.

Figure 1. Basic Subscriber Service Switch Operation

Protocols that register with the Subscriber Service Switch application programming interface (API) can take advantage of this switching path. Bypassing the virtual access interface in this manner helps the Cisco IOS XE software to scale to the increased number of sessions that the market demands. The Subscriber Service Switch also improves network performance. For example, benchmark testing indicates that performance of L2TP multihop tasks occurs twice as fast in networks with the Subscriber Service Switch as in networks without it.

Backward Compatibility of Subscriber Service Switch Policies

All of the existing virtual private dialup network (VPDN), Multichassis Multilink PPP (MMLP), and local termination policies and configurations are maintained in the implementation of the Subscriber Service Switch; however, default policies may be overridden by the following configurations or events:

Resource Manager (RM) VPDN authorization is attempted before VPDN authorization.
VPDN authorization is attempted before Stack Group Forwarding (SGF) MMLP.
VPDN service authorization is attempted only when the vpdn enable command is configured.
RM VPDN service authorization is attempted only if RM is enabled.
SGF authorization is attempted only when the sgbp member command is configured and one or both of the following service keys are available from the subscriber: unauthenticated PPP name and endpoint discriminator.
The dnis and domain service keys, in that order, are used to authorize VPDN service, provided that VPDN service is enabled.
An unauthenticated PPP name is always reduced to a domain name by taking all characters from the right of the PPP name up to a configurable delimiter character (default is the @ character). Only the domain portion is used to locate a service.
If the vpdn authen-before-forward command is configured as a global configuration command, the authenticated PPP name is used to authorize VPDN service.
The vpdn-group command can define four configurations:
Authorization for VPDN call termination (using the accept-dialin and accept-dialout keywords).
Authorization for VPDN subscriber service (using the request-dialin and request-dialout keywords).
A directive to collect further service keys and reauthorize (using the authen-before-forward keyword).
A tunnel configuration.

The Subscriber Service Switch adds a general configuration framework to replace the first three aspects of a VPDN group.

If VPDN and SGF services either are not configured or cannot be authorized, local PPP termination service is selected. Further PPP authorization is still required to complete local termination.
A two-phase authorization scheme is enabled by the vpn domain authorization command. An NAS-Port-ID (NAS port identifier) key is used to locate the first service record, which contains a restricted set of values for the domain substring of the unauthenticated PPP name. This filtered service key then locates the final service. Cisco refers to this scheme as domain preauthorization.
Domain preauthorization will occur only when the NAS-Port-ID key is available.
When domain preauthorization is enabled, both authenticated and unauthenticated domain names are checked for restrictions.
It is possible to associate a fixed service with an ATM permanent virtual circuit (PVC), thus affecting any subscribers carried by the PVC. The vpn service command, in ATM VC or VC class configuration mode, and the associated key make up the generic service key.
When the generic service key is available, it will be used for authorization instead of the unauthenticated domain name.
If either the vpdn authen-before-forward or per vpdn-group authen-before-forward command is configured, the authenticated username is required and will be used to authorize VPDN service.
To determine whether the authen-before-forward command is configured in a VPDN group (using the vpdn-group command), an unauthenticated username or the generic service key is required as the initial-want key set.
When the global vpdn authen-before-forward command is not configured, the generic service key, if one is available, is used to determine whether the authen-before-forward function is configured in the VPDN group (using the vpdn-group command). If the generic service key is not available, the unauthenticated username will be used.
If an accounting-enabled key is available, the unauthenticated username is required.
VPDN multihop is allowed only when VPDN multihop is enabled.
SGF on the L2TP network server (LNS) is allowed only when VPDN multihop is enabled on the LNS.
Forwarding of SGF calls on the LAC is allowed only if VPDN multihop is enabled on the LAC.
SGF-to-SGF multihop is not allowed.
When PPP forwarding is configured, both Multilink PPP (MLP) and non-MLP calls are forwarded to the winner of the Stack Group Bidding Protocol (SGBP) bid.
Authentication is always required for forwarded Packet Data Serving Node (PDSN) calls.
When the directed-request function is enabled and activated using the ip host command, VPDN service authorization occurs only when the vpdn authorize directed-request command is used.
Fixed legacy policy is still maintained for RM.

Debug Commands Available for Subscriber Service Switch

The Subscriber Service Switch feature introduces five new EXEC mode debug commands to enable diagnostic output about Subscriber Service Switch call operation, as follows:

debug sss aaa authorization event --Displays messages about AAA authorization events that are part of normal call establishment.
debug sss aaa authorization fsm --Displays messages about AAA authorization state changes.
debug sss error --Displays diagnostic information about errors that may occur during Subscriber Service Switch call setup.
debug sss event --Displays diagnostic information about Subscriber Service Switch call setup events.
debug sss fsm --Displays diagnostic information about the Subscriber Service Switch call setup state.

The following EXEC mode debug commands already exist:

debug redundancy - This command is available on platforms that support redundancy.
debug sss elog --Collects SSS performance event data.
debug sss feature --Enables debug for SSS feature events
debug sss packet --Enables packet level event and information debugging for the Subscriber Service Switch.
debug sss policy --Enables debug for SSS policy module events.
debug sss service --Enables debug for service manager event.

These commands were designed to be used with debug commands that exist for troubleshooting PPP and other Layer 2 call operations. The table below lists some of these debug commands.

Table 1 Additional Debugging Commands for Troubleshooting the Subscriber Service Switch

Note

The debug commands are intended only for troubleshooting purposes, because the volume of output generated by the software can result in severe performance degradation on the router.

How to Configure a Subscriber Service Switch Policy

The Subscriber Service Switch architecture is transparent, and existing PPP, VPDN, PPPoE, PPPoA, and authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) call configurations will continue to work in this environment. You can, however, enable Subscriber Service Switch preauthorization and Subscriber Service Switch type authorization. You may also find it helpful to verify Subscriber Service Switch call operation.

What to Do Next

Create a RADIUS user profile for domain preauthorization. See the next section for more information.

Creating a RADIUS User Profile for Domain Preauthorization

The table below contains the attributes needed to enable domain preauthorization in a RADIUS user file. Refer to the Cisco IOS XE Security Configuration Guide for information about creating a RADIUS user profile.

Table 2 Attributes for the RADIUS User Profile for Domain Preauthorization
RADIUS Entry	Purpose
nas-port: ip-address:slot/subslot/port/vpi.vci	Configures the NAS port username for domain preauthorization. ip-address : --Management IP address of the node switch processor (NSP). slot / subslot / port --Specifies the ATM interface. vpi . vci --Virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI) values for the PVC.
Password= "cisco"	Sets the fixed password.
User-Service-Type = Outbound-User	Configures the service type as outbound.
Cisco-AVpair= "vpdn:vpn-domain-list= domain1, domain2,..."	Specifies the domains accessible to the user. domain --Domain to configure as accessible to the user.

Enabling a Subscriber Service Switch Preauthorization

When Subscriber Service Switch preauthorization is enabled on an LAC, local configurations for session limit per VC and per VLAN are overwritten by the per-NAS-port session limit downloaded from the server. Perform this task to enable preauthorization.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. subscriber access {pppoe | pppoa} pre-authorize nas-port-id[aaa-method-list]

4. show sss session [all]

5. exit

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

enable

Example:

Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal

Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

subscriber access {pppoe | pppoa} pre-authorize nas-port-id[aaa-method-list]

Example:

Example:

Router(config)# subscriber access pppoe pre-authorize nas-port-id mlist-llid

Example:

Enables Subscriber Service Switch preauthorization.

Note

The LACs maintain a current session number per NAS port. As a new session request comes in, the LAC makes a preauthorization request to AAA to get the session limit, and compares it with the number of sessions currently on that NAS port. This command ensures that session limit querying is only enabled for PPPoE-type calls, not for any other call types.

Step 4

show sss session [all]

Example:

Router(config)# show sss session all

Displays the Subscriber Service Switch session status.

Step 5

exit

Example:

Router(config)# exit

(Optional) Exits global configuration mode.
