A VPDN group consists of VPDN sessions that are combined and placed into a customer profile or a
VPDN profile. Note the following characteristics of VPDN groups:
• The dnis-group-name argument is required to authorize the VPDN group with RPM.
• A VPDN group placed in a customer profile allows VPDN connections for the customer using that
profile.
• A VPDN group placed in a VPDN profile allows the session limits configured for that profile to
apply to all of the VPDN sessions within that VPDN group.
• VPDN data includes an associated domain name or DNIS, an endpoint IP address, the maximum
number of MLP bundles, and the maximum number of links per MLP bundle; this data can
optionally be located on a AAA server.
See the sections “VPDN Configuration Example” and “VPDN Load Sharing and Backing Up Between
Multiple HGW/LNSs Example” at the end of this chapter for examples of using VPDN with RPM.
Counting VPDN Sessions by Using VPDN Profiles
Session counting is provided for each VPDN profile. One session is brought up each time a remote client
dials into a HGW/LNS router by using the NAS/LAC. Sessions are counted by using VPDN profiles. If
you do not want to count the number of VPDN sessions, do not set up any VPDN profiles. VPDN profiles
count sessions in one or more VPDN groups.
Step 5
Router(config-vpdn)# loadsharing ip ip-address
[limit
number ]
Configures the endpoints for loadsharing. This router
will share the load of IP traffic with the first router
specified in Step 2. The limit keyword limits the
number of simultaneous sessions that are sent to the
remote endpoint (HGW/LNS). This limit can be 0 to
32767 sessions.
Step 6
Router(config-vpdn)# backup ip ip-address [limit
number ] [priority number ]
Sets up a backup HGW/LNS router. The number of
sessions per backup can be limited. The priority
number can be 2 to 32767. The highest priority is 2,
which is the first HGW/LNS router to receive backup
traffic. The lowest priority, which is the default, is
32767.
Step 7
Router(config-vpdn)# exit
Returns to global configuration mode.
Step 8
Router(config)# resource-pool profile vpdn
profile-name
or
Router(config)# resource-pool profile customer
name
Enters either VPDN profile configuration mode or
customer profile configuration mode, depending on
whether you want to allow VPDN connections for a
customer profile, or allow combined session counting
on all of the VPDN sessions within a VPDN profile.
Step 9
Router(config-vpdn-profile)# vpdn group group-name
or
Router(config-customer-profi)# vpdn group
group-name
Attaches the VPDN group to either the VPDN profile or
the customer profile specified in Step 8.
