Assigning an ACI/ARI Pair to a Service Name and Configuring the Action Taken When the Client Request Includes ACI/ARI Information
You can specify up to 16 ACI/ARI (agent specifier) pairs for each PPPoE service name. You can optionally configure the action taken by the PPPoE underlying interface when it receives a PADI packet that includes a service name (service name tag) and the vendor-specific tag with ACI/ARI information that matches the ACI/ARI that you specify.
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.
To indicate that it can service the client request, the interface returns a PADO packet in response to the PADI. By default, the interface immediately responds to the request; this is the terminate action. You can specify that the PADI packet is ignored (dropped), or you can set a delay between receipt of the PADI packet and transmission of the PADO packet.
(Optional) To configure an ACI/ARI pair for the service name, do one of the following:
- Assign an ACI/ARI pair to the service name. The terminate
action is applied to the pair by default.[edit protocols pppoe service-name-tables table1 service gold-service]user@host# set agent-specifier aci gold-service DSLAM:3/0/1/101 ari *user*
- Specify the action taken for the ACI/ARI pair in response
to a PADI packet from a PPPoE client.[edit protocols pppoe service-name-tables table1]user@host# set agent-specifier aci gold-service DSLAM:3/0/1/101 ari *user* drop
