Prerequisites for Configuring the Managed IPv6 LNS

For the router to function as an LNS, you must enable Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) on the Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol Network Server (LNS) and the Layer 2 Access Concentrator (LAC), by entering the aaanew-model global configuration command. For more information, see the " Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting " chapter in the Cisco IOS XE Security: Securing User Services Configuration Guide .

Restrictions for Configuring the Managed IPv6 LNS

Only PPP session termination into Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF)-lite is supported. PPP session termination into an Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-VPN is not supported.

Information About Configuring the Managed IPv6 LNS

L2TP Network Server

The router can function as an LNS. The LNS is a peer to the LAC and sits on one side of an L2TP tunnel. The LNS routes packets to and from the LAC and a destination network. When the router functions as an LNS, you can configure the router to terminate the PPP sessions and route the client IP packets onto the ISP or corporate network toward their final destination (see the figure below). The router can use the Managed IPv6 LNS feature to terminate L2TP sessions from the LAC and place each session into the appropriate IPv6 VRF instance based on the VRF applied to the virtual template interface or alternatively, based on the VRF received for the user through AAA. The router then routes each session within the VRF to the destination network.

Figure 1 Terminating and Forwarding Sessions from the LAC


Tunnel Accounting

The tunnel accounting feature enhances AAA accounting by adding the ability to include tunnel-related statistics in the RADIUS information. Before you can collect tunnel usage information, you must configure the following attributes on the RADIUS server:

  • Acct-Tunnel-Connection--Specifies the identifier assigned to the tunnel session. This attribute and the Tunnel-Client-Endpoint and Tunnel-Server-Endpoint attributes provide a way to uniquely identify a tunnel session for auditing purposes.
  • Acct-Tunnel-Packets-Lost--Specifies the number of packets lost on a given link.

The table below describes the values for the Acct-Status-Type attribute that support tunnel accounting on the RADIUS server.

Table 1 Acct-Status-Type Values for RADIUS Tunnel Accounting

Acct-Status-Type Values

Configuration Examples for the Managed IPv6 Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol Network Server

Example Managed IPv6 LNS Configuration

The following example shows how to configure Managed IPv6 LNS features on the router. In this example, the router terminates the tunnel from the LAC and associates the VRFs with the interfaces and the virtual template interfaces. This configuration also shows how to configure RADIUS attribute screening and AAA accounting for the VRFs.

Example Verifying the User Profile on the RADIUS Server

The following is an example user profile on the RADIUS server. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers retrieves the information in the user profile from the RADIUS server. 

Radius Profile "user1"
Auth-Type = Local, User-Password = "pwd"
User-Service-Type = Framed-User
Framed-Protocol = PPP
cisco-avpair = "lcp:interface-config=vrf forwarding VRF01"
cisco-avpair = "lcp:interface-config=ipv6 unnumbered loopback1"
Framed-IPv6-Prefix = "2001:DB8:4567:1234::/64" 
Delegated-IPv6-Prefix = "2001:DB8:AAAA::/48"
