Configuring Subscriber Access

To configure subscriber access:

  1. Configure the client access protocol.
  2. Configure subscriber authentication, accounting, and addressing.
    1. Configure RADIUS:
      1. Specify the RADIUS servers.

        See Specifying RADIUS Authentication and Accounting Servers for Subscriber Access.

      2. Specify any optional server attributes.

        See Configuring RADIUS Server Options for Subscriber Access.

      3. (Optional) Configure the CoA feature for the RADIUS dynamic-request server to change or deactivate the service after login.

        See Configuring RADIUS-Initiated Dynamic Request Support.

      4. Configure subscriber accounting (RADIUS accounting).

        See Configuring Per-Subscriber Session Accounting.

    2. Configure addressing:
  3. Create and manage dynamic profiles for access and service.
    1. Configure a basic dynamic profile.

      See Configuring a Basic Dynamic Profile.

      See Example: Minimum PPPoE Dynamic Profile

    2. Configure a dynamic profile for access.

      See Configuring a Dynamic Profile for Client Access.

    3. Configure a dynamic profile for services.

      See Configuring a Dynamic Profile for Various Levels of Services.

    4. Configure a default subscriber service.

      See Configuring a Default Subscriber Service.

    5. Configure the static subscriber interfaces to be referenced in the dynamic profile.

      See Configuring a Subscriber Interface with a Static VLAN Interface.

    6. Specify the interface-name and unit variables that the router uses to dynamically associate to a subscriber’s incoming interface.

      See Associating Dynamic Profiles with Statically Created Interfaces.

    7. Add, modify, or delete dynamic profile values to manage subscriber access and services.

      See Modifying Dynamic Profiles with Versioning Disabled.

The router dynamically activates or modifies the subscriber service using the RADIUS configuration.

Figure 1 shows the configuration sequence you perform for DHCP-based subscriber access. It also shows the dynamic configuration performed by the router.
