Configuring a BRAS to Achieve Different Bandwidth Requirements on ME60

In our network plan, different bandwidths are required by users and at the same time different fees need to charged, for example network 1 the uplink and downlink traffic bandwidths for access are limited to 1 Mbit/s while those of network 2 are limited to 2 Mbit/s.

To meet this bandwidth requirement, in this article we will provide an example for configuring a BRAS on ME60 router to obtain an EDSG service policy including limited bandwidths from local configurations

Networking Requirements

On the network shown in Figure 1, PPPoE users access network 1 at 192.168.100.0/24 and network 2 at 192.168.200.0/24. Different fees need to be charged for traffic over networks 1 and 2. The users have different bandwidth requirements for networks 1 and 2. The uplink and downlink traffic bandwidths for access to network 1 are limited to 1 Mbit/s, and the uplink and downlink traffic bandwidths for access to network 2 are limited to 2 Mbit/s.

NOTE:

The policy and AAA servers shown in Figure 1 are RADIUS servers.

EDSG Introduction

EDSG identifies various user services based on traffic destination addresses and implements independent rate limit, accounting, and management for each service. Carriers can use EDSG to implement differentiated accounting and rate limit to increase their revenues. Carriers can also provide flexible service and accounting policies for diversified user requirements to improve user satisfaction.

EDSG provides the following functions:

  • Accounting based on destination addresses and tariff levels
  • Bandwidth limit based on destination addresses
  • Scheduling based on destination addresses and priorities
Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

1, Enable the value-added service function.

2, Configure policy servers.

3, Configure an EDSG traffic policy.

4, Configure an AAA authentication scheme and accounting scheme.

5, Configure a mode in which EDSG service policies are obtained.

6, Configure EDSG service policies.

7, Configure a local address pool.

8, Bind the local address pool and RADIUS server group to an AAA domain.

9, Configure interfaces.

10, Configure online users.

Data Preparation

To complete the configuration, you need the following data:

  • Policy server parameters, such as the IP address and interface number
  • EDSG traffic policy parameters, such as the service group name, ACL rule, traffic classifier, traffic behavior, and traffic policy
  • RADIUS server group name, IP address and interface number of a RADIUS authentication server, and IP address and interface number of a RADIUS accounting server used for an EDSG service policy
  • Authentication scheme name, authentication mode, accounting scheme name, and accounting mode used for an EDSG service policy
  • Name of the local address pool used in the domain, gateway address, and address pool range
  • EDSG service policy parameters, such as the mode in which an EDSG service policy is obtained, policy name, bound RADIUS server group, authentication scheme, accounting scheme, and bandwidths for uplink and downlink traffic rate limit for EDSG services

# Configure the AAA server to deliver the RADIUS attribute User-Password with a value of huawei@123 for the PPPoE user (user 1).

NOTE:

The shared key configured for a RADIUS server group determines the content of the User-Password attribute.

# Configure the AAA server to deliver the RADIUS attribute HW-Account-Info containing Aservice_edsg1 and Aservice_edsg2 for the PPPoE user (user 1).

NOTE:

The content of the HW-Account-Info attribute starts with “A” followed by a service name. This attribute is used in user authentication response packets to deliver EDSG services that automatically take effect (directly activated after delivery).

After detailed Configuration procedure, you may have a basic knowledge of how to configuring a BRAS to achieve different bandwidth requirements for network users.
