    AAA Service Framework and Broadband Subscriber Management Overview

    You use AAA Service Framework for all authentication, authorization, accounting, address assignment, and dynamic request services that the services router uses for network access. The framework supports authentication and authorization through external servers, such as RADIUS. The framework also supports accounting and dynamic-request CoA and disconnect operations through external servers, and address assignment through a combination of local address-assignment pools and RADIUS.

    Note: The broadband subscriber management solution currently supports the use of only RADIUS servers.

    The broadband services router interacts with external servers to determine how individual subscribers access the broadband network. The router also obtains information from external servers for the following:

    • Methods used for authentication and accounting.
    • How accounting statistics are collected and used.
    • How dynamic requests are handled.
