PDSN Service-based Compulsory Tunneling
This section describes the working of service-based compulsory tunneling and its configuration.
How PDSN Service-based Compulsory Tunneling Works
PDSN Service-based compulsory tunneling enables wireless operators to send all PPP traffic to remote LNS peers over
an L2TP tunnel for authentication. This means that no PPP authentication is performed by the system.
Accounting start and interim accounting records are still sent to the local RADIUS server configured in the system's
AAA Service configuration. When the L2TP session setup is complete, the system starts its call counters and signals the
RADIUS server to begin accounting. The subscriber name for accounting records is based on the NAI-constructed name
created for each session.
PDSN service-based compulsory tunneling requires the modification of one or more PDSN services and the
configuration of one or more LAC services.
The following figure and the text that follows describe how PDSN service-based compulsory tunneling is performed
using the system.
These instructions assume that the system was previously configured to support subscriber data
. For additional information on how to verify and save configuration files, refer to the
