<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">We have used a couple of different DHCP servers for NBN IPoE sessions over the last few years, all talking to a RADIUS back end to look up the static IP address information
based on circuit-ID (AVC). Initially we used a Mikrotik router, but with a change in RADIUS server we need the DHCP server to use the circuit-ID as the AAA username, and the Mikrotik only uses the MAC address. I found that the DHCP server in our Cisco ASR
could send the circuit-ID as the AAA username, but it has a “feature” where AAA-based DHCP sessions have a maximum life (defined by Cisco AVPair session-duration, which has to exist and can’t be zero) after which the DHCP lease is forced to be released and
has to be renewed from scratch. This causes a brief outage to the service while they have no IP address, and causes some of our clients to failover to an alternate connection. After a chat with Cisco, I was told that it was by design and would not be changed
or allowed to be overridden.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
