I'm having a problem with PPPoE authentication on an ASR1001-X where when a session is established it's trying to create a Full Virtual-Access Interface, not just creating a sub-interface as I want it to:

> Session creation failed due to Full Virtual-Access Interfaces not being supported. Check that all applied Virtual-Template and RADIUS features support Virtual-Access sub-interfaces.

I'm pretty sure that it's because my radius server (freeradius) is sending back Framed-Compression = VJ TCP/IP. I'm not specifying that as an reply attribute though, so looks like it's just set by default. Log snippit:

I can't for the life of me work out how to stop that. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

  • Found the solution. In case anyone else has the same problem, the 'DEFAULT' declarations in /etc/raddb/users define the default Framed-Compression to be sent with responses. Commenting that out fixes it. `DEFAULT Framed-Protocol == PPP Framed-Protocol = PPP # Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobson-TCP-IP` – user3412 Apr 11 '18 at 07:55

DEFAULT Framed-Protocol == PPP 
Framed-Protocol = PPP 
#   Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobson-TCP-IP
