Chapter 11 Configuring Local AAA Server, User Database—Domain to VRF
In the figure, the PPP client attempts to establish a PPP session with user@domain. This PAP or CHAP
user name request is forwarded to the broadband remote access server
(
BRAS) for authentication.
Authentication could be done locally on the BRAS, but in most cases the authentication is forwarded to
a RADIUS server. The RADIUS server looks up the user@domain or user (if the BRAS strips off the
domain), and if found sends a RADIUS ACK back to the BRAS. The BRAS sends a PAP or CHAP ACK
back to the PPP client.
AAA Authorization
Figure 11-2
shows the AAA authorization set up when establishing a PPP connection.
Figure 11-2
AAA Authorization
In the figure, the PPP client requests an IP address using PPP IPCP to the BRAS. The BRAS does a
match of the domain to a local profile. This local profile contains the VRF to assign to this PPP session.
The BRAS replies back to the PPP client with an IP address from the defined IP address pool in the local
profile.
