Chapter 8 - Provisioning

The SMS2000 is capable of performing provisioning by using an external server (OCS or
RADIUS) or internally using groups and rules. For more information on using the OCS
to provision the SMS2000, see the OCS User's Guide. For more information on
RADIUS, see Chapter 13, "Using SMS2000 with a RADIUS Server." Scenarios for
performing these functions in various configurations are described below.
Table 8-1 shows how provisioning is performed with no external server, with RADIUS,
with the OCS, and internally.

Functionality
SMS2000 based rules and groups allow you to target services at sets of
subscribers. For more information on using groups and rules, see Chapter
10, "Groups and Rules."
RADIUS may set a user's IP address and traffic shaping parameters. The
provisioning of user names and services must be done either manually or
by a separate provisioning server supplied for ISPs by a number of
software vendors.
The OCS can handle provisioning of new users by either network
administrators or users themselves (self-provisioning). A number of user
attributes can be controlled, including addressing and traffic shaping.
