Session Identification
For disconnect and CoA requests targeted at a particular session, the device locates the session based on one
or more of the following attributes:
• Acct-Session-Id (IETF attribute #44)
• Audit-Session-Id (Cisco VSA)
• Calling-Station-Id (IETF attribute #31, which contains the host MAC address)
• IPv6 Attributes, which can be one of the following:
• Framed-IPv6-Prefix (IETF attribute #97) and Framed-Interface-Id (IETF attribute #96), which
• Framed-IPv6-Address
• Plain IP Address (IETF attribute #8)
If more than one session identification attribute is included in the message, all of the attributes must match
the session or the device returns a Disconnect-NAK or CoA-NAK with the error code "Invalid Attribute
Value."
For CoA requests targeted at a particular enforcement policy, the device returns a CoA-NAK with the error
code "Invalid Attribute Value" if any of the above session identification attributes are included in the message.
CoA Session Reauthenticate Command
To initiate session authentication, the AAA server sends a standard CoA-Request message containing the
following VSAs:
Cisco:Avpair="subscriber:command=reauthenticate"
Cisco:Avpair="subscriber:reauthenticate-type=<last | rerun>"
"reauthenticate-type" defines whether the CoA reauthentication request uses the authentication method that
last succeeded on the session or whether the authentication process is completely rerun.
The following rules apply:
• "subscriber:command=reauthenticate" must be present to trigger a reauthentication.
• If "subscriber:reauthenticate-type" is not specified, the default behavior is to rerun the last successful
authentication method for the session. If the method reauthenticates successfully, all old authorization
data is replaced with the new reauthenticated authorization data.
• "subscriber:reauthenticate-type" is valid only when included with "subscriber:command=reauthenticate."
If it is included in another CoA command, the VSA will be silently ignored.
If the device fails before returning a CoA-ACK to the client, the process is repeated on the new active device
when the request is resent from the client. If the device fails after returning a CoA-ACK message to the client
but before the operation is complete, the operation is restarted on the new active device.
together create a full IPv6 address per RFC 3162
