Fixed access session functions

To enable fixed access sessions, a capture-sap must be provisioned under service vpls with appropriate values for trigger-packet and a link to the pfcp association. The triggers are mandatory and are not automatically derived from the default IBCP tunnel.

Sessions without any encapsulation are supported on a dot1q capture SAP. The system creates internal constructs to correctly handle sessions without encapsulation. These sessions can be combined with dot1q encapsulated sessions on the same capture SAP.

The following example shows trigger-packet provisioning in a PFCP association configuration:

A:admin@DUT-B# info 
    pfcp {
        association "BNG-CPF"
    }
    trigger-packet {
        pppoe true
    }

To identify sessions in the data plane, the BNG CPF must provide the following parameters.

For PPPoE, the BNG UPF can perform LCP keep-alive offload, if supported and signaled by the BNG CPF. The BNG UPF automatically signals support for this feature when the PFCP association is created.
