Coa Activate Service Command - Cisco Catalyst 2960 series Configuration Manual

Information About RADIUS Change-of-Authorization
When a device with no supplicant, such as a printer, needs to acquire a new IP address (for example, after a
VLAN change), terminate the session on the host port with port-bounce (temporarily disable and then re-enable
the port).

CoA Activate Service Command

The CoA activate service command can be used to activate a service template on a session. The AAA server
sends the request in a standard CoA-Request message using the following VSAs:
Cisco:Avpair="subscriber:command=activate-service"
Cisco:Avpair="subscriber:service-name=<service-name>"
Cisco:Avpair="subscriber:precedence=<precedence-number>"
Cisco:Avpair="subscriber:activation-mode=replace-all"
Because this command is session-oriented, it must be accompanied by one or more of the session identification
attributes described in the Session Identification section below. If the device cannot locate a session, it returns
a CoA-NAK message with the "Session Context Not Found" error-code attribute. If the device locates a session,
it initiates an activate template operation for the hosting port and a CoA-ACK is returned. If activating the
template fails, a CoA-NAK message is returned with the Error-Code attribute set to the appropriate message.
If the device fails before returning a CoA-ACK to the client, the process is repeated on the new active device
when the request is re-sent from the client. If the device fails after returning a CoA-ACK message to the client
but before the operation is complete, the operation is restarted on the new active device.
Session Identification
For disconnect and CoA requests targeted at a particular session, the device locates the session based on one
or more of the following attributes:
• Acct-Session-Id (IETF attribute #44)
• Audit-Session-Id (Cisco VSA)
• Calling-Station-Id (IETF attribute #31, which contains the host MAC address)
• IPv6 Attributes, which can be one of the following:
• Plain IP Address (IETF attribute #8)
If more than one session identification attribute is included in the message, all of the attributes must match
the session or the device returns a Disconnect-NAK or CoA-NAK with the error code "Invalid Attribute
Value."
For CoA requests targeted at a particular enforcement policy, the device returns a CoA-NAK with the error
code "Invalid Attribute Value" if any of the above session identification attributes are included in the message.

together create a full IPv6 address per RFC 3162
