[rbak-nsp] Need help in PPPOE URL feature configuration

PPPoE Hurl feature is pretty much legacy - it was useful a long time back
when some people started to use PPPoE clients on desktop PC's with bridged
modems. It was a way at PPPoE layer of saying to the client "please go to
this URL",.
Very few clients supported it , so they would actually just ignore it, and
so it kind of became deprecated, but  the code support is still there I
guess.

In a network topology with a PPPoE router, which is of course what most
people have, its next to useless.

HTTP redirect, which a previous poster referred you to, is the best way to
do this now. It's a compulsory redirect at IP layer.
You also need to apply a forwarding policy to the subscriber, to redirect
all http traffic to localhost (The SE itself) to make the L7 redirect step
in.

Cheers
Ian

Hi,

Have anyone have a working configuration for pppoe url feature that they can
share with? I'm trying to test this feature but my browser doesn't get
redirected.

[VPN-DSL]SE400#show subscribers active
testuser
        Circuit   3/5 vlan-id 118 pppoe 1888
        Internal Circuit   3/5:1023:63/6/2/21171
        Interface bound  PPPOE-POOL-2
        Current port-limit unlimited
        ip pool PPPOE-POOL-2 (applied)
        ppp mtu 1492 (applied from sub_default)
        dns primary 192.168.20.10 (applied from sub_default)
        dns secondary 192.168.20.11 (applied from sub_default)
        pppoe hurl http://mytestsite.com (applied from sub_default)
        ip address 10.254.192.22 (applied from pool)
        ip access-group in PORT-BLOCKER (applied from sub_default)

Thanks,
Marvin

Hello Marvin,

 

We do URL redirects based on Radius Groups.

 

context local

!

 subscriber profile myGroup

   http-redirect profile myRedirectGroup

!

 http-redirect profile myRedirectGroup

  url http://www.mysite.com

 

The above is the sections that enable the redirect.

 

You will also need a Radius reply -

 

Sub-Profile-Name          :=     myGroup

 

Thanks,

Curtis Raams

  Marvin,

     Are you using a PPPoE client that is on your PC?  When we tested this
feature most of router PPPoE clients ignored the option.
