Overview of Services
The SRC software supports several types of services:
- Access services—Services that provide access to the Internet or to a content provider's Web site. An access service has the object class umcAccessService.
- Outsourced services—Services that wholesalers sell to retailers and that retailers in turn sell to their customers. An outsourced service has the object class umcOutsourceService.
- RADIUS services—Services that authenticate subscribers, authorize subscribers' access to the SRC network, and provide accounting information about subscribers' activities (JUNOSe routers only). A RADIUS service has the object class umcRadiusService.
- Value-added services (also known as SSP services)—Services that a subscriber pays for in addition to a standard service, such as video on demand, higher bandwidth on demand, e-games, and video conferencing. A value-added service has the object class sspService. There are four 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
LDAP Model for Services
You can view service objects in the directory at the distinguished name (DN) o=Services, o=umc. If you install the sample data, you can see examples of service configurations through SDX Admin.
For detailed information about the SRC LDAP schema, see the documentation in the SRC software distribution in the folder /SDK/doc/ldap or on the Juniper Networks Web site at
