Mapping Application Terminate Reasons and RADIUS Terminate Codes

The Junos OS software uses default configuration mapping of terminate reasons for various protocols (AAA, DHCP, L2TP, and PPP) to RADIUS Acct-Terminate-Cause attributes. You can optionally create customized mappings between a terminate reason and a RADIUS Acct-Terminate-Cause attribute, enabling you to provide different information about the cause of a termination.

When a AAA, DHCP, L2TP, or PPP session is terminated, the router logs a message for the internal terminate reason and logs another message for the RADIUS Acct-Terminate-Cause attribute (RADIUS attribute 49). RADIUS attribute 49 is also included in RADIUS Acct-Off and Acct-Stop messages. You can use the logged information to help monitor and troubleshoot terminated sessions.

Note: A single mapping for RADIUS account termination is shared by all clients.

Table 1 lists the IETF RADIUS Acct-Terminate-Cause codes that you can use to map application terminate reasons. In addition, you can also configure and use proprietary codes for values beyond 22.
