Configuring ISG Policies for Session Maintenance

Intelligent Services Gateway (ISG) is a software feature set that provides a structured framework in which edge devices can deliver flexible and scalable services to subscribers. This module describes how to configure a session timer and connection timer through a service policy map. Additionally, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RADIUS attributes Session-Timeout (attribute 27) and Idle-Timeout (attribute 28) can be used in service profiles on an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server to configure the same session maintenance control.

IP subscriber session keepalive support is configured for monitoring session data traffic in the upstream direction for idleness. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is used for Layer 2 connected subscribers. For routed host (Layer 3 connected) subscribers, the protocol defaults to Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP). ICMP is also used in configurations where the access interface does not support ARP.

Prerequisites for ISG Policies for Session Maintenance

A traffic class is required only if an idle timer or session timer is being installed on a service that has a traffic class definition in it. If the timer is installed on a session or service that has no traffic class, a traffic class is not required. See the "Configuring ISG Subscriber Services" module for information about how to configure a traffic class.

Information About ISG Policies for Session Maintenance

Session Maintenance Timers

ISG provides two commands (each of which can be set independently) to maintain control over a session and its connection. The timeout absolute command controls how long a session can be connected before it is terminated. The timeout idle command controls how long a connection can be idle before it is terminated. Both commands detect both PPP and IP sessions and can be applied in a non-traffic-class-based service, on a per-session basis, or in a flow (traffic-class-based service). All subscriber traffic will reset the timers; however, non-network traffic such as PPP control packets will not reset the timers.

The scope of the session timers and connection timers is determined by the type of service within which the timer is specified. If specified in a service profile for which no traffic class is defined, the timer action will be to terminate the session or connection. If a traffic class specifier resides in the service profile, the timer action will be to deactivate the service.

Benefits of Session Maintenance Timers

The PPP idle timeout functionality has been replaced by the ISG idle timeout feature. The idle timer is a generic feature that can be set to detect idle traffic in both PPP and IP sessions.

You set the idle timer in a service profile that is installed on a session to control how long that service stays installed before it is removed from the session because no traffic is flowing through that service. If the service has traffic class parameters associated with it, that traffic class is terminated when this timer expires, or when the session itself is terminated.

The same is true for the session timer, except that this timer determines how long the session or service stays up, regardless of traffic flowing through it.

Monitoring Sessions

The IP subscriber session’s data traffic in the upstream direction can be monitored for idleness using a keepalive feature configured for the subscriber. If a session is idle for a configured period of time, keepalive requests are sent to the subscriber. This action verifies that the connection is still active. The protocol to use for the keepalive request and response can be configured based on the IP subscriber session type. If it is a directly connected host (Layer 2 connection), ARP is used. For routed host (Layer 3 connected) subscribers, ICMP is used. If the access interface does not support ARP, the keepalive protocol defaults to ICMP.

ARP for Keepalive Messages

When a session is established and the keepalive feature is configured to use ARP, the keepalive feature saves the ARP entry as a valid original entry for verifying future ARP responses.


Note

In cases where the access interface does not support ARP, the protocol for keepalives defaults to ICMP.


When ARP is configured, the ARP unicast request is sent to the subscriber. After a configured interval of time, the ARP response (if received) is verified. If the response is correct and matches the original entry that was saved when the subscriber was initially established, the keepalive feature continues monitoring the data plane for the configured interval of time. If the response is not correct, the keepalive feature resends the ARP request until a correct response is received or the configured maximum number of attempts is exceeded.

ICMP for Keepalive Messages

If ICMP is configured, the ICMP “hello” request is sent to the subscriber and checked for a response, until the configured maximum number of attempts is exceeded.

For IP subnet sessions, the peer (destination) IP address to be used for ICMP “hello” requests will be all the IP addresses within the subnet. This means “hello” requests will be sent sequentially (not simultaneously) to all the possible hosts within that subnet. If there is no response from any host in that subnet, the session will be disconnected.

Another option is to configure ICMP directed broadcast for keepalive requests. If the subscriber hosts recognize the IP subnet broadcast address, the ISG can send the ICMP “hello” request to the subnet broadcast address. The subscribers need not be on the same subnet as the ISG for this configuration to work. A directed broadcast keepalive request can work multiple hops away as long as these conditions are satisfied:

  • The group of subscribers identified by the subnet must have the same subnet mask provisioned locally as the subnet provisioned on the subnet subscriber session on the ISG. Otherwise, the subscriber hosts will not recognize the subnet broadcast address.

  • The router directly connected to the hosts must enable directed-broadcast forwarding, so that the IP subnet broadcast gets translated into a Layer 2 broadcast.

When these two conditions are satisfied, you can optimize the ICMP keepalive configuration to minimize the number of ICMP packets.


Note

Because enabling directed broadcasts increases the risk of denial of service attacks, the use of subnet directed broadcasts is not turned on by default.


HA Support for Session Maintenance Timers

The SSO and ISSU feature provides high availability (HA) support for ISG timers including the connection timer, session timer, and the session keepalive. The timers and keepalive are restarted on the new standby Route Processor (RP) after a stateful switchover (SSO) or In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) event.

For information about configuring HA on the ISG router, see the High Availability Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Release 3S .

How to Configure ISG Policies for Session Maintenance

Configuring the session maintenance timers requires two separate tasks, one to set the idle timer and one to set the session timer. Either one or both of these tasks can be performed in order to set session maintenance control.

Troubleshooting the Session and Connection Timer Settings

The following sections describe the debug commands that can be used to troubleshoot the session maintenance timers:

Prerequisites for Troubleshooting the Session Maintenance Timers

Before performing the task in this section, it is recommended that you be familiar with the use of Cisco IOS debug commands described in the introductory chapters of the Cisco IOS Debug Command Reference. Also see the module “Troubleshooting ISG with Session Monitoring and Distributed Conditional Debugging.”

Restrictions for Troubleshooting the Session Maintenance Timers


Caution

Because debugging output is assigned high priority in the CPU process, it can render the system unusable. For this reason, use the Cisco IOS debug commands only to troubleshoot specific problems or during troubleshooting sessions with Cisco technical support staff. Moreover, we recommend that you use debug commands during periods of lower network traffic and fewer users, or on a debug chassis with a single active session. Debugging during these periods decreases the likelihood that increased debug command processing overhead will affect system use.


Debug Commands Available for the Session Maintenance Timers

The table below lists the debug commands that can be used to diagnose problems with the session maintenance timers.

Table 1. Debug Commands for Troubleshooting Session Maintenance Timers

Command

Purpose

debug subscriber feature error

Displays general Feature Manager errors.

debug subscriber feature event

Displays general Feature Manager events.

debug subscriber feature name idle-timer error

Displays idle timer errors.

debug subscriber feature name idle-timer event

Displays idle timer events.

debug subscriber feature name session-timer error

Displays session timer errors.

debug subscriber feature name session-timer event

Displays session timer events.

Configuring a Session Keepalive on the Router

This task describes how to configure the keepalive feature on the router, using either ARP or ICMP.

Because the session keepalive feature is checking for the subscriber’s health and presence, this feature is applied only to the session as a whole and not per-flow.


Note

  • If a service profile includes an ISG traffic class configuration, the keepalive feature will be ignored.
  • If this feature is applied to a non-IP session, for example, a PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) or PPP over ATM (PPPoA) session, this feature application will fail and the following applies:
    • If the feature is applied at a session-start event, both the feature application and the session will fail.
    • If this feature is pushed onto a session after the session-start event, the push will fail.

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. enable
  2. configure terminal
  3. policy-map type service policy-map-name
  4. keepalive [idle idle-seconds ] [attempts max-retries ] [interval retry-seconds ] [protocol {ARP | ICMP [broadcast ]}]
  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

policy-map type service policy-map-name

Example:


Router(config)# policy-map type service policymap1

Enters service policy map configuration mode.

Step 4

keepalive [idle idle-seconds ] [attempts max-retries ] [interval retry-seconds ] [protocol {ARP | ICMP [broadcast ]}]

Example:


Router(config-service-policymap)# keepalive idle 7 attempts 3 interval 1 protocol arp

Enables keepalive messages and sets the maximum idle period, number of requests, interval between requests, and protocol for keepalive messages.

  • The ranges and default values for the idle , attempts , and interval keywords are platform and release-specific. For more information, use the question mark (? ) online help function.

  • protocol —For Layer 2 connections, the default is ARP; for routed connections, the default is ICMP.

  • broadcast —This option is disabled by default.

Note 

If this command is applied to a non-IP session, the command will fail. If the command is applied to a non-IP session at the session-start event, the session will also fail.

Step 5

exit

Example:


Router(config-service-policymap)# exit

Returns to global configuration mode.

Example

The following example configures the keepalive feature on a router using ARP:


policy-map type service accting_service
 class type traffic ALL
 !
 keepalive idle 7 attempts 3 interval 1 protocol arp
!

Feature Name

Releases

Feature Information

ISG: Session: Lifecycle: Idle Timeout

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.2

The ISG idle timeout controls how long a connection can be idle before it is terminated.

ISG: Session Protection and Resiliency: Keepalive-ARP, ICMP

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.2

IP subscriber session keepalive support is configured for monitoring session data traffic in the upstream direction for idleness. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is used for Layer 2 connected subscribers. For routed hosts (Layer 3 connected) subscribers, the protocol defaults to Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP). ICMP is also used in configurations where the access interface does not support ARP.

The following command was introduced:

keepalive (ISG).

ISG: Session: Lifecycle: Packet of Disconnect (POD)

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.2

An ISG can be configured to interact with external policy servers. A policy server can use RADIUS Packet of Disconnect (POD) to manage the life cycle of any ISG session. The primary role of the POD message is to terminate an ISG session.

Downstream Idle Timeout Support

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.4.1S

The connection timer (idle timeout) can be applied to subscriber traffic in a specific direction, through an ISG service policy map or a AAA service profile.

The following command was modified: timeout idle.

Session Timeout Ext to 360 Days

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5S

Maximum value of the session timer was increased to 31,104,000 seconds. Maximum value of the connection timer was increased to 15,552,000 seconds.

The following commands were modified: timeout absolute, timeout idle .

ISG: Flow Control: SSO/ISSU

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5S

HA support was added for the session maintenance timers and keepalive.
