  • + : Indicates that more than one of the preceding options may be specified in a single command.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to bind the IPSG RADIUS Server/eWAG service to a logical AAA interface and specify the number of allowed subscriber sessions. If the AAA interface is not located in this context, configure the source-context parameter.

Use the accounting and authentication proxy settings to enable RADIUS proxy server functionality on the IPSG. These commands are used when the NAS providing the RADIUS request messages is incapable of sending them to two separate devices. The IPSG in RADIUS Server mode proxies the RADIUS request and response messages while performing the user identification task in order to provide services to the session.

Example

The following command binds the service to a AAA interface with and IP address of 209.165.200.228 located in the source context named aaa_ingress : 

bind address 209.165.200.228 source-context aaa_ingress

    acct_stop_wait_timeout must be an integer from 10 through 300 seconds. This indicates the time to wait to clear the call in case IPSG does not receive any accounting stop for the subscriber after sending the PoD.

    This keyword is configured on a per RADIUS accounting client basis and not for the entire service.

  • dest-port destination_port_number : Specifies the port number to which the disconnect message must be sent.

    destination_port_number must be an integer from 1 through 65535.

Syntax

w-apn apn_name default-gw ipv4/ipv6_address/maskbits + 
no w-apn apn_name

no

If previously configured, removes the specified configuration.

apn-name apn_name

Specifies the APN name.

apn_name must be the name of an APN and must be a string of 1 to 62 characters in length consisting of alphabetic characters (A-Z and a-z), digits (0-9), dot(.) and the dash (-).

This value is compared against the subscribed APN returned by the AAA server or locally configured APN in the subscriber-template configuration to find the default-gateway IP address to be used in DHCP signaling packets.

default-gw ipv4/ipv6_address/maskbits

Specifies the IP address of the default gateway to be used by UE for W-APN access.

You can configure a maximum of four default gateways per W-APN. Multiple default-gateways are possible as the APN can have different pools of different subnet with different default-gateway IP addresses.

ipv4/ipv6_address/maskbits must be an IPv4/IPv6 address and subnet-mask, for example 192.168.1.1/24.

This value should be in the same subnet as that of UE allocated IP address from GGSN for the W-APN. GGSN does not supply subnet-mask along with IP address. Therefore, the identification of whether GGSN-allocated IP address is in same subnet or not is done with the help of configured "/maskbits". This default-gateway value is sent to the UE as default-gateway IP address using "Router" option in DHCP-OFFER message. The maskbits is sent to the UE as subnet-mask using the "Subnet Mask" option in DHCP-OFFER message.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure the list of W-APN names that can be connected through DeWAG and the default-gateway IP addresses to be used by UE for connecting to the W-APN network. During DHCP signaling the configured default-gateway value will be notified to UE as the router. This command also configures the subnet-mask to be used for the respective default-gateway IP address in order to find the network prefix of the default-gateway.

Note that DeWAG will be acting as 'default-gateway' for the UE in its connected network.


Important

This command can be configured a maximum of four times to configure four different APNs and the corresponding default-gateways.

Example

The following command configures an APN named apn123 with the default gateway IP address and mask 209.165.201.0/27 :
w-apn apn123 default-gw 209.165.201.0/27
