Dual Stack Subscribers Monitoring and Management

date_range 06-Dec-23

Monitoring Active Subscriber Sessions

Purpose

View a summary of active subscriber sessions.

Action

From operational mode, enter the show subscribers summary command.

content_copy zoom_out_map
user@host>show subscribers summary
Subscribers by State
   Active: 2
   Total: 2

Subscribers by Client Type
   DHCP: 1
   PPPoE: 1
   Total: 2

Meaning

The output under Subscribers by State shows the number of active subscriber sessions.

The output under Subscribers by Client Type shows the number of active sessions by type. The two subscriber sessions above represent a DHCPv6 subscriber on a PPPoE access network. When DHCPv6 is layered over PPPoE, two separate subscriber sessions are created for a subscriber.

Monitoring Both IPv4 and IPv6 Address in Correct Routing Instance

Purpose

Verify that the subscriber has both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address and is placed in the correct routing-instance.

Action

From operational mode, enter the show subscribers command.

content_copy zoom_out_map
user@host>show subscribers
Interface         IP Address/VLAN ID    User Name            LS:RI
pp0.1073741825    203.0.113.162             ipv4-v6-subscriber   default:default
pp0.1073741825    2001:DB8::1                                default:default

Meaning

The Interface field shows that there are two subscriber sessions running on the same interface. The IP Address field shows that one session is assigned an IPv4 address, and one session is assigned on IPv6 address.

The LS:RI field shows that the subscriber is placed in the correct routing instance and that traffic can be sent and received.

Monitoring Dynamic Subscriber Sessions

Purpose

Display dynamic PPPoE and DHCPv6 subscriber sessions.

Action

From operational mode, enter the show subscribers detail command.

00 00

Meaning

If you are using DHCPv6 over a PPPoE access network, the output shows the relationship of the DHCPv6 subscriber session with its underlying PPPoE subscriber session. In the output for the PPPoE session, the Session ID is 2. The output of the DHCP session shows that the Underlying Session ID is 2.

Monitoring Address Pools Used for Subscribers

Purpose

Verify the pool used for NDRA, the delegated address pool used for DHCPv6 prefix delegation, and the length of the IPv6 prefixes that were delegated to the CPE.

Action

From operational mode, enter the show subscribers extensive command.

Under the PPPoE session, the IPv6 Delegated Address Pool fields show the names of the pools used for DHCPv6 prefix delegation and for NDRA prefixes. The IPv6 Delegated Network Prefix Length field shows the length of the prefix used to assign the IPv6 address for this subscriber session. The IPv6 Interface Address field shows the IPv6 address assigned to the CPE interface from the NDRA pool.

Under the DHCP session, the IPv6 Delegated Address Pool fields show the name of the pool used for DHCPv6 prefix delegation. The IPv6 Delegated Network Prefix Length fields shows the length of the prefix used in DHCPv6 prefix delegation.
