Required Connection Profile Settings - Lucent Technologies MAX 6000 Configuration Manual

Required Connection profile settings

In the Connection profile's IP Options, you must set the Virtual Router parameter to the same
name you set in the Virtual Routers profile. This refers the MAX unit's Connection profile to
the VRouter. For example:
Virtual Router=vr1
Required Static Rtes profile settings
To enable VRouters to use static routes, you must set the Virtual Router parameter in the Static
Rtes profile to the same name you set in the Virtual Routers profile. For example:
Virtual Router=vr1
An inter-VRouter is created when you specify the name of a VRouter as the route's next hop.
To enable inter-Vrouters, you must set the Dest parameter, the Dest VRouter parameter, and
the Virtual Router parameter in the Static Rtes profile. In the same profile, you must also verify
that the Gateway parameter's default setting, 0.0.0.0, is specified. The MAX unit sends packets
destined for the destination address to the specified VRouter, which consults its own routing
table to further route the packets. Set the Gateway-Address parameter the zero address,
0.0.0.0, for this parameter to apply. For example:
Dest=10.207.23.1
Gateway=0.0.0.0
Virtual Router=vr1
Dest VRouter=vr2
In the previous example, the Dest parameter, specifies the destination IP address, 10.207.23.1.
Specifying the name of another active virtual router, vr2, in the Dest VRouter parameter
indicates that there is a static route between the VRouters. The Virtual Router parameter
specifies the name of the Virtual Router (VRouter) for which the MAX unit creates the Static
Route. It is the same name as the one specified in the Virtual Routers profile, vr1.
Disabling a Virtual Router profile
Disabling a Virtual Router profile disables the VRouter itself. For example:
Active=No
If you disable a VRouter with active connections, you should reset the MAX unit. If you
cannot reset the unit, manually tear down any active connections, and then modify the local
Connection and Static Rtes profiles that point to the VRouter. Specify that the local
Connection and Static Rtes profiles to point to the global VRouter or another existing VRouter.
VRouter support added for L2TP tunneling
A MAX unit using RADIUS authentication and functioning as an L2TP Access Concentrator
(LAC) can now provide Virtual Routers (VRouters) for L2TP sessions. The RADIUS attribute
Ascend-Tunnel-Vrouter-Name enables you to specify a VRouter.
The VRouter name you specify must also be specified by the Ethernet > Mod Config > L2
Tunneling Options > System Name parameter. Otherwise, the tunneling connection reverts to
the MAX unit's main router.
