Configuring Snooping of RADIUS Accounting Requests for IP-Based Subscribers

If a gateway GPRS support node (GGSN), Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW), or broadband network gateway (BNG) does not treat the MX Series router as a RADIUS server, Junos OS must actively snoop RADIUS accounting requests from that gateway to set up TDF subscriber sessions. Snooping uses a filter called a snoop segment to identify the requests to send to the subscriber management module.

To configure snooping of RADIUS accounting requests:

  1. Configure a name for the snoop segment.

    For example:

  2. Specify the destination IP address of accounting requests to snoop.

    For example:

  3. (Optional) Specify the destination port of accounting requests to snoop.

    For example:

    If this statement is not included, the destination port is set to 1813.

  4. (Optional) Specify the source IP address of accounting requests from a GGSN, PGW, or BNG to snoop.

    For example:

    If the source IP address is not included, snooping of accounting requests is not restricted by their source.

  5. Specify the MX Series router interface on which the accounting requests to be snooped are received.

    For example:

    If the source interface is not included, snooping of accounting requests is not restricted by the interface that receives the request.

  6. Specify the shared secret for the MX Series router and the accounting request sender.

    For example:

    If the shared secrets do not match, the subscriber session is not set up.

  7. (Optional) Configure the number of seconds to cache the accounting request that was snooped. If the same request is received by the MX Series router within this time, it is considered a duplicate request and is dropped.

    For example:

  8. Repeat Steps 1 through 7 to configure additional snoop segments.

  9. Assign one or more snoop segments to the TDF gateway.

    For example, the following configures gateway1 to snoop accounting requests destined for the RADIUS server 10.102.30.102 on port 52000 that originate from IP address 10.11.11.11 and are received on interface ge-0/0/0.0:
