When using the internal AAA

communicate with
Authorize.Net.

communicates with
Authorize.Net on a specified
port which is not enabled

When a subscriber who is
enabled with DHCP logs onto
the system, they are not
assigned an IP address.
The DHCP relay is enabled
with an incorrect IP address
for the external DHCP server.
Check the IP address for the
external DHCP server. If
necessary, test the
communication with the “ping”
command.
The DHCP relay is enabled
with the correct IP address for
the external DHCP server, but
the DHCP server is
misconfigured.
Check the external DHCP
server settings (for example,
is it configured to a routable
class of IP addresses? Are
there enough IP address
specified? If you specified a
subnet, is it correct?). If you
suspect the subnet, try using
255.255.255.0

and the DHCP service
settings in the Access
Gateway are misconfigured.
Check the internal DHCP
service settings.
Subscribers are unable to
route to a domain name, but
they can route to an IP
address.

misconfigured.
Check the DNS settings (host,
domain, and the primary,

The DNS server is down. Check with the service
provider. Is the DNS server
down?
