5.
Upon successful authentication, the LNS service terminates the subscriber's PPP datagrams from the L2TP
session and the system determines which egress context to use for the subscriber session. For more
information on egress context selection process, refer How the System Selects Contexts in System
Administration Guide.
The system determines that the egress context is the destination context based on the configuration of
either the Default subscriber's ip-context name or from the SN-VPN-NAME or SN1-VPN-NAME attributes
that is configured in the subscriber's RADIUS profile.

Data traffic for the subscriber session is routed through the PDN interface in the Destination context.
7.
Accounting information for the session is sent to the AAA server over the AAA interface.
Configuring the System to Support LNS Functionality
Many of the procedures required to configure the system to support LNS functionality are provided in the
System Administration Guide. The System Administration Guide provides information and procedures for
configuring contexts, interfaces and ports, AAA functionality, and IP address pools on the system.
This section provides information and instructions for configuring LNS services on the system allowing it to
communicate with peer LAC nodes.
This section provides the minimum instruction set for configuring an LNS service allowing the system to
terminate L2TP tunnels and process data sessions. For more information on commands that configure additional
LNS service properties, refer LNS Configuration Mode Commands chapter in
Command Line Interface
Reference
.
Important
To configure the system to provide access control list facility to subscribers:
Step 1
Create the LNS service and bind it to an interface IP address by applying the example configuration in the
Creating and
Binding LNS Service
section.
Step 2
Specify the authentication parameters for LNS service by applying the example configuration in the
Configuring
Authentication Parameters for LNS Service
section.
Step 3
Configure the maximum number of tunnels supported by the LNS service and maximum number of sessions supported
per tunnel by applying the example configuration in the
Configuring Tunnel and Session Parameters for LNS Service
section.
Step 4
Configure peer LACs for the LNS service by applying the example configuration in the
Configuring Tunnel and Session
Parameters for LNS Service
section.
Step 5
Optional
. Specify the domain alias designated for the context which the LNS service uses for AAA functionality by
applying the example configuration in the
Configuring Domain Alias for AAA Subscribers
section.
Step 6
Verify your LNS service configuration by following the steps in the
Verifying the LNS Service Configuration
section.
Step 7
Save your configuration to flash memory, an external memory device, and/or a network location using the Exec mode
command
save configuration
. For additional information on how to verify and save configuration files, refer to the
System Administration Guide
and the
Command Line Interface Reference
