ESM

For ESM support authenticate-on-dhcp must be enabled under configure service ies | vprn service-id subscriber-interface ip-int-name group-interface ip-int-name wlan-gw vlan-tag-ranges range start start end end. When receiving DHCPv4 the ISA sends the DHCP message and the cached access-accept to the CPM which further processes the setup sequence. On the CPM a regular RADIUS authentication policy should be picked up for the UE either through configuration on the group interface or via the LUDB. Typically this policy reflects the ISA policy. This policy is used as a context to store the access-accept on the CPM for 10s.

IPv6 hosts are supported but can only be authenticated after DHCPv4 has triggered the promote from ISA to CPM. When IPoE linking is enabled a SLAAC host is created together with the DHCPv4 host as usual. If an additional IPv6 host would arrive after the 10s timeout, a regular RADIUS authentication is started from the CPM using the previously mentioned RADIUS policy.

When tracking is enabled, the radius messages are handled on the ISA and specific tracking actions (mobility, delete) are sent directly to the CPM.
