Hi Mohammed,

well, I think yes ...

I've a number of mobile users, that via ISDN (dialup) would be authenticated and added to their VRF ...

Hope this clear enough

Thanks for your support

Andrea

Hi,

Well thats nice, i work for an ISP and we are doing this solution, some customers' sites access their VRF using ISDN (VPDN), you'll find here all what you need:

You'll need a LAC (Access server), LNS (PE router) and a RADIUS server (we are using Cisco CAR).

Please do not hesitate for any further questions.

Hi,

thanks for your informations.

Is it possible to implement the RAS and the PE function on the same device (obviously with an external radius server for PPP authentication)?

Thanks

Andrea

Hi,

Yes this what exactly what we are doing, our LNS is also acting as a PE, but since we have more and more VPDN customers, we are thinking of separating the LNS (having a PE acting just as an LNS). We are using Cisco CAR as the RADIUS server.

Check the attached topology for general network layout.

Hi,

Sorry i guess that i got your question wrong, i think you meant having a single device acting as a LAC and a LNS at the same time, i don't think that this doable as the whole idea is built upon L2TP between both the LAC and the LNS.

The LAC provides authentication and access concentration for remote users. After a remote user is authenticated, that user's communications session is then forwarded to the LNS, which provides access to that user's VRF.

Although most remote access technologies bundle these functions into a single device, L2TP separates them into two physically separate devices LAC and LNS.

Yes, but I've to implement that on the same device.

maybe this is a good point of view, is it?

Good Luck :)
