Configuring RADIUS Clients That Send Accounting Requests for IP-Based Subscribers

You specify an MX Series router RADIUS client for each gateway GPRS support node (GGSN), Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW), or broadband network gateway (BNG) that sends IP-based subscriber session requests and identifies the MX Series router as a RADIUS server. This task is not used for snooped accounting requests.

Before you begin to configure a RADIUS client, make sure that you have configured the interface and IP address that you want to receive RADIUS requests on the MX Series router.

To configure the RADIUS clients:

  1. Configure the name of the RADIUS client.
  2. Specify the IP address from which the RADIUS client sends the RADIUS requests.
  3. Specify the MX Series router interface and IPv4 address that receive RADIUS requests from the GGSN, PGW, or BNG.
  4. Configure a shared secret to be used by the MX Series router and the RADIUS client for accounting.
  5. (Optional) Specify that the framed-ip-address is used for subscriber creation when both the framed-route and framed-ip-address attributes are in the RADIUS accounting request from the RADIUS client. The framed-ip-netmask is also used for subscriber creation if it is in the request.

    By default, the framed-route attribute is used for subscriber creation when both the framed-route and framed-ip-address attributes are in the RADIUS accounting request.

  6. (Optional) Specify that the framed-ipv6-prefix is used for subscriber creation when both the delegated-ipv6-prefix and framed-ipv6-prefix attributes are in the RADIUS accounting request from the RADIUS client.

    By default, the delegated-ipv6-prefix attribute is used for subscriber creation when both the delegated-ipv6-prefix and framed-ipv6-prefix attributes are in the RADIUS accounting request.

  7. Configure the duration, in seconds, that the RADIUS response messages (sent for request messages) are stored in the MX Series router response cache before they time out.
  8. Enable the RADIUS client for a specific TDF gateway.

    Use the client-name that you configured in Step 1.
