Release Information

Statement introduced in JUNOS Release 10.0.

Description

Specify the action taken by the interface for the specified agent circuit identifier (ACI)/agent remote identifier (ARI) pair when the interface receives a PADI control packet that includes the vendor-specific tag with ACI/ARI pair information. A maximum of 16 ACI/ARI pairs is supported per service name tag.

You can use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard character to match ACI/ARI pairs, the ACI alone, or the ARI alone. The asterisk can be placed only at the beginning, the end, or both the beginning and end of the identifier string. You can also specify an asterisk alone for either the ACI or the ARI. You cannot specify only an asterisk for both the ACI and the ARI. When you specify a single asterisk as the identifier, that identifier is ignored in the PADI packet.

For example, suppose you care about matching only the ACI and do not care what value the ARI has in the PADI packet, or even whether the packet contains an ARI value. In this case you can set the remote-id-string to a single asterisk. Then the interface ignores the ARI received in the packet and the interface takes action based only on matching the specified ACI.

Default

The default action is terminate.

Options
