SSG Feature

Implementation Notes

RADIUS Proxy

Not Supported.

 

 

Service Profiles

MTU Size Attribute—In Directory Enabled Service Selection Subscription (DESS)

 

mode, SESM does not support the use of the MTU Size attribute.

 

Service-Defined Cookie Attribute—SSG does not parse or interpret the value of this

 

attribute. You must configure the proxy RADIUS server to interpret this attribute.

 

A RADIUS service profile supports only one Service-Defined Cookie.

 

 

SMTP Redirect

Not supported, even if it is configured.

 

 

TCP Redirect

Supported to default network only. User traffic to services might be dropped,

 

even if it does not match a redirect port.

 

Network-specific redirects do not work unless the network is part of an exclude

 

network or part of an active service. As a workaround, use redirects based on

 

service name.

 

The authentication feature applies only to non-PPP users. PPP users are always

 

authenticated as part of the PPP negotiation process. PPP users logging off from

 

SESM are also redirected.

 

Initial Captivation—If the packet matches the redirection filter, the packet is

 

subject to initial captivation and is redirected. If the packet does not match the

 

redirection filter, the packet is not subject to initial captivation and is dropped.

 

Also see the “Restrictions for SSG TCP Redirect” section on page 10-4.

 

 

Transparent

Supported only for traffic to the user (host). Not supported for traffic from the

Passthrough

user (host). Use Open Garden to allow SSG hosts access to certain networks.

 

Unauthorized downstream traffic is always allowed, but unauthorized upstream

 

traffic from an SSG host is dropped.

 

 

Unsupported

If an unsupported feature (such as NAT) is applied to an SSG connection, the

Features

router does not reject the connection; however, the feature is not applied to traffic

 

over the connection.

 

 

VPI/VCI Static

The feature applies only to PPP sessions.

Binding to a

You must statically configure the feature.

Service Profile

SESM cannot map the VC to the service.
