The tunnel server in this case is configured to authenticate users via another RADIUS server
that handles a single realm. Since it handles a single realm, no realm information is needed for
users and so must be stripped. In this case, it is stripped by the NSE, but it could easily have
been stripped by the tunnel server, or by the tunnel server’s RADIUS server. This is by design
and for maximum flexibility.
Also note that the “Local hostname” field is blank which means that the NSE’s default local
hostname of “usg_lac” will be used by the NSE. This allows for setting the local hostname to
any desired value other than the default. The L2TP peers exchange their local hostnames
during tunnel negotiation.

The screen below shows a realm routing policy that handles prefix-based usernames using
a RADIUS service profile. Notice that “Specific Realm” is clicked and the “Realm name”
is “cisp”. Also notice that “Prefix match only” is clicked and that the delimiter is “/”. This
means that this realm routing policy will match usernames that are of the format “cisp/
username”.
