SSG Open Garden Configuration Enhancements
The Service Selection Gateway (SSG) is an IOS feature and implements layer 3 service selection through
selective routing of IP packets to destination networks on a per subscriber basis. Out of the many features
SSG has, Open Garden is one of the features, which is very useful for service providers to provide
trial-based services to the customers.

An open garden is a collection of web sites that a user can access as long as the user has physical access
to the network. The user doesn't need to provide any authentication information before accessing the
Web sites in the open garden.
to the network. The user doesn't need to provide any authentication information before accessing the
Web sites in the open garden.
Currently, SSG open garden services can be configured/managed on the router itself, even though they
are similar to normal SSG (subscribed) services. The modifications being proposed will allow open
garden services to be defined and managed on the RADIUS server as well.

SSG Changes to Accommodate New L2TP Error Codes
SSG need to accommodate and map the error code from L2TP to pass them on to SESM and Radius
Authentication Server. These changes are to complete the L2TP error code work done in PPP/L2TP
team. More specifically, in cases where the SSG tunnel (L2TP) service fails or the session setup is
unsuccessful the SSG shall answer the service logon request with a radius access reject towards SESM
or Radius Authentication Server with a reason describing an error code. The interface to report error
code already exists. It needs to be extended to report more granular error codes required by customers.
L2TP error codes are generated in compliance with RFC3145
