7204vxr as LNS - provider is LAC
Hi guys,



New service I am trying to setup, I have pppoe working fine, but the new
service sends the ppp connections via a L2tp tunnel.. I am no expert in
these things but thought through research I had it setup. First connection
was connected today and I can see the tunnel doing something but it fails

I am not exactly sure what all this means, but something isn't quite right..
Knowing my luck I probably have it completely configured wrong!

Hi Nathan,

Have you made a configruation mistake in your VPDN group maybe?
Perhaps you can share your config, that is always helpful.

You have this in your logs:

Jul 31 18:22:04.352: L2TP tnl 08060:00003A1E: local ip set to

Have you got a mismatch between you "source-ip" on the VPDN group and
actual interface IP?

Cheers,
James.

Hi James,

I thought that solved it, I didn't have a source-ip set so I set source-ip
to .29 but it still appears to fail due to unreachable .28??

http://pastebin.com/h0cagDPk

From what I gather I get the SCCRQ and for some reason a SCCRP is not making
it back, then tunnel is killed.

Re: 7204vxr as LNS - provider is LAC [ In reply to ]
Hi Wayne,



Thankyou we have progress!!! This shows how laziness causes problems later, when we setup the call termination service 3 years ago I had to specifically route 2 ranges through a private lan.



202.10.4.0/28

202.10.4.16/28



Stupid me decided to be lazy and do the below on our core switch the 7204vxr connects to save typing both out



ip route 202.10.4.0 255.255.255.0 10.239.238.121



turns out they use 202.10.4.128/25 for the LACs across all the states..



Fixed the above and I can at least ping it now :)



Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 202.10.4.147, timeout is 2 seconds:

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/4 ms



Tunnel wont attempts again until modem tries connecting to LAC, it slows down reattempts as time goes on, seeing if I can get it restarted. We have progress!

Re: 7204vxr as LNS - provider is LAC [ In reply to ]
Nathan,



In my experience it’s best to stuff the interfaces facing the provider in a VRF, and point a default route out to their gateway. This way if they add new routes in the future (for new LACs), you don’t need to make any changes. This also works very well when you have multiple loop providers that use private address ranges for their LAC networks, as it ensures you don’t have any conflicts with your routing.



One provider in particular up here in Canuckistan likes to add new LAC subnets without telling anyone, then migrate customers to new LACs on these subnets and leave the ISPs to figure out why hundreds or thousands of their customers are down.



Cheers,


GTG

Agreed, this is what I have been doing too. VRF per loop provider with
multiple sub-interfaces, one for each loop provider one per loop
provider per service, with a default route. Keeps the traffic seperate
and easily measurable and a simple config to manage.

Re: 7204vxr as LNS - provider is LAC [ In reply to ]
I will look into this, might make things easier. I am not a cisco expert so slowly learning things as I need them. Takes a lot of reading and research to implement something new :) I ended up finding out that the provider was sending to the host address rather than the one I had allocated. .28 /30 and I was using .29. Tunnel came up after they fixed that but no traffic would flow until I corrected the routing.

I am upgrading to an ASR 1004 for our core soon as I need netflow for some laws here, would it be better to use for termination than the 7204? Not a huge amount of traffic yet so guess I may as well leave it until necessary to replace with more power.

I find it kind of funny that in the end it was 9 lines of config changes that changed to terminate this whole new service. I also had to create a new virtual template with a lower mss for it to work properly.

Re: 7204vxr as LNS - provider is LAC [ In reply to ]
What kind of NPE in the 7204? I've used 7206 NPE-G1's and they work fairly well at small scale (less than 1000 subs), the G2 is better as it supports more features (particularly things like QoS).

ASR1k's are great LNS boxes, just have to be careful when migrating from 7200's to ASRs as they are a lot more strict about what RADIUS attributes you can use and may cause you lots of frustration trying to figure it out. In particular they don't support full Virtual-Access interfaces (only sub-interfaces) so any attribute that requires a full Virtual-Access interface will not work.

Re: 7204vxr as LNS - provider is LAC [ In reply to ]
Hi Gary,

The 7204 is the same as the 7206, as long as they are VXR chassis, they both support NPE-G1 & NPE-G2's. Hugh price difference between 7200 series and ASR1k

If you can get by with an NPE-G1 then they are sub $500 now, which is always attractive for projects.

Cheers
Sarpreet

Agreed, this is what I have been doing too. VRF per loop provider with multiple sub-interfaces, one for each loop provider one per loop provider per service, with a default route. Keeps the traffic seperate and easily measurable and a simple config to manage.

This is the situation I have too - a 7201 terminating pppoe subscribers
- about 1100 - and am now migrating to an Asr1000. What features exactly
cause the requirement for full virtual-access interface? I know my ASR
has the horsepower to do the job but it's got more features and things I
plan on experimenting with in the future, including making much more
extensive use of the QoS features per-subscriber which is somthing I am
not doing today on the 7201.

Nothing I wasn't able to work around in the end.

Framed-Compression, and qos pre-classify come to mind (qos pre-classify is
not needed anyways). We had both enabled (Framed-Compression in RADIUS users
file, qos pre-classify on the Virtual-Template) and drove me nuts till I
figured out what it was. There may be others.

That was quite annoying, we hit that problem too. It doesn't seem to
be documented anywhere that it's not supported although really we
shouldn't of had that setting present as it's not in use anymore so
lazy on our party.

It's annoying as at the time we were using FreeRADIUS and its enabled
be default in a couple of locations :S

Something else that we had to change was that PBR is no longer support
but again, laziness on our part, it was a nudge to remove any
instances of lingering PBR.

Re: 7204vxr as LNS - provider is LAC [ In reply to ]
I may not be able to avoid doing it, as I read deeper in the meta data laws,
I may need to not only keep track of who has what IP in the CGNAT but all
the translations as well, I think the ASR can do this via NEL. I have found
the less I touch things the better reliability is :)

I was figuring if we got a request to say who from (CGNAT external)
connected to DST IP x.x.x.x at port y I could look it up in the netflow from
the LNS but I don't think that contains the translation part. Might be
lucky and only one peron attempted to DST IP in that specific timeframe but
could be tricky if more did.

If you have a G2 already, I would stick with it. It's still well-supported
with software, and will easily handle your session count.

Having everyone on one device can be nice, but in general I prefer different
devices for different roles. If a device goes down you lose everything on
that device, so the more you have on a single device, the more vulnerable
you can be. Also, it limits the impact of provisioning errors, as if you use
multiple devices you can limit the amount of changes to your core and
hopefully improve reliability.

I believe the CISCO7600 series can do that as well with a firewall service module or a NAM service module.

My suggestion would be to avoid CGNAT if at all possible. There are IP
