Subscriber Session Timeout Options

Subscriber session timeout options enable you to place limits on subscriber access based on how long the session has been up, how long the user has been inactive, or both. The subscriber session options apply to both L2TP-tunneled and PPP-terminated subscriber sessions. For DHCP subscribers, the session timeout limits the DHCP lease time.

Note:

To configure the timeout attributes in RADIUS, refer to the documentation for your RADIUS server.

To configure limitations on subscriber sessions, configure the session options in the client profile that applies to the subscriber:

  • Terminate the subscriber when the configured session timeout expires, regardless of activity.

  • Terminate the subscriber when there is no ingress or egress data traffic for the duration of the configured idle timeout.

  • Terminate the subscriber when there is no ingress data traffic for the duration of the configured idle timeout; ignore egress traffic.

For example, to configure session timeout options in the acc-prof client profile, specifying an idle timeout of 15 minutes, that only ingress traffic is monitored, and that the session times out after 120 minutes:
