○ VRF ID
● discards the packets, if length of the packet is shorter than the length field value.
● discards the packets, if length of the packet is shorter than 20 or longer than 4096.
● discards the packets, if request authenticator does not match the calculated MD5 checksum. NAS calculates the MD5 hash
using following fields from the request:
○ Code
○ Identifier
○ Length
○ 16 Zero Octets
○ Request Attributes
○ Shared secret (based on the source IP address of the packet)
● discards the packets, if the message-authenticator received in the request is invalid. The message-authenticator is
calculated using the following fields:
○ Code Type
○ Identifier
○ Length
○ Request Authenticator
○ Attributes
Disconnect Message Processing
This section lists various actions that the NAS performs during DM processing.
The following activities are performed by NAS:
● responds with DM-Nak, if no matching session is found in NAS for the session identification attributes in DM; Error-Cause
value is “Session Context Not Found” (503).
● responds with DM-Nak for any internal processing error in NAS; Error-Cause value is “Resources Unavailable” (506).
● ignores attributes that are supported as per RFC but are irrelevant to the DM operation.
● responds to a disconnect message containing one or more incorrect attributes values with a Disconnect-NAK; Error-Cause
value is “Invalid Attribute Value” (407).
● responds to a disconnect message containing unsupported attributes with DM-Nak; Error-Cause value is “Unsupported
Attributes” (401).
NOTE:
Unsupported attributes are the ones that are not mentioned in the RFC 5176 but present in the disconnect
message that is received by the NAS.
● rejects the disconnect message containing NAS-IP-Address or NAS-IPV6-Address attribute that does not match NAS with
DM-Nak; Error-Cause value is “NAS Identification Mismatch” (403).
● responds with a DM-Nak, if the NAS is configured to prohibit honoring of disconnect messages; Error-Cause value is
“Administratively Prohibited” (501).
