CLI Commands Used to Include ANCP-Related Juniper Networks VSAs in Access and Accounting Messages

You use the radius include command to specify information about ANCP, also known as L2C, that you want to include in the RADIUS Access-Request, Acct-Start, and Acct-Stop messages. Also, if you specify Acct-Stop messages, the router includes ANCP information in Interim-Acct messages that the router sends to RADIUS. By default, the router does not include the ANCP-related information provided by the Juniper Networks VSAs in RADIUS messages.

These Juniper Networks ANCP-related VSAs are based on definitions in GSMP extensions for layer2 control (L2C) Topology Discovery and Line Configuration—draft-wadhwa-gsmp-l2control-configuration-00.txt (July 2006 expiration).

You must enable ANCP discovery with the discovery-mode command prior to configuring the radius include command with the ANCP-related VSAs. Configuring discovery mode enables the RADIUS authentication server to retrieve ANCP information. JunosE Software continues to support DSL Forum VSAs (vendor ID 3561) that you can use to include DSL-related information in RADIUS messages. See DSL Forum VSAs.

Table 1 lists the ANCP (L2C)-related keywords that you can use in the radius include command and the associated Juniper Networks VSAs. The table also indicates the mappings between ANCP parameters and the VSAs.
