Adding Value-Added Services
A value-added service is one that subscribers activate and deactivate. The SAE supports the following types of value-added services:
- Normal—Policy-based service
- Aggregate—Group of services, handled as a unit
- Infrastructure—Service that can be activated a number of times across network devices
- Script—Custom service that is used to provision policies on a number of systems across a network path, including networks that contain network devices that do not have supported network drivers
Use aggregate and infrastructure services together to apply policies across JUNOSe routers and JUNOS routing platforms, and other systems that have a supported router driver. Use script services to create customized service implementations, such as a configuration to provision policies for a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) tunnel. Script services can be used with aggregate and infrastructure services to provide a custom implementation across network devices, some of which do not have a supported router driver.
Before You Configure Value-Added Services
Before you configure services:
- Plan the services that you want to make available to subscribers.
- Configure the policies for a service to use. For information about configuring policies, see Defining Policies to Manage Traffic.
