RADIUS VSAs and Broadband Subscriber Management Wholesale Configuration Overview

You can use RADIUS to assign various values through the use of dynamic variables within dynamic profiles. However, the configuration of at least one of the two VSAs described in Table 1 is required for a wholesale network to function.

Table 1: Required Juniper Networks VSAs for the Broadband Subscriber Management Wholesale Network Solution

Attribute Number

Attribute Name

Description

Value

26-1

LSRI-Name

Client logical system/routing instance membership name. Allowed only from RADIUS server for “default” logical system/routing instance membership.

string: logical system:routing instance

26-25

Redirect-LSRI-Name

Client logical system/routing instance membership name indicating to which logical system/routing instance membership the request is redirected for user authentication.

string: logical system:routing instance

Specifying the $junos-routing-instance dynamic variable in a dynamic profile triggers a RADIUS access-accept response of either the LSRI-Name VSA or the Redirect-LSRI-Name VSA. Returning an LSRI-Name attribute in the access-accept response provides the logical system and routing instance in which the logical interface is to be created and the router updates the session database with the specified routing instance value. Returning a Redirect-LSRI-Name attribute in the access-accept response results in the router immediately sending a second access-request message (sometimes referred to as a double-dip) to the RADIUS server specified by the logical system:routing instance attribute specified by the Redirect-LSRI-Name VSA.

Note:

Attributes returned as a result of a second access-request message to the logical system/routing instance membership specified by the Redirect-LSRI-Name VSA override any prior attributes returned by initial access-accept responses to the default logical system/routing instance membership.
