Using RADIUS to Activate Subscriber Service Sessions

Service Manager RADIUS Attributes

Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.
To use RADIUS to activate subscriber service sessions, you create a RADIUS record that
includes the Activate-Service VSA. For the RADIUS login method, this RADIUS record is
used by the Access-Accept message to start Service Manager and activate the service
when the subscriber logs in.
For the RADIUS CoA method, the service provider uses a CoA-Request message to
activate and deactivate the service for the subscriber who is already logged in.
To configure a service session that will be activated by RADIUS:
Create the RADIUS record for the subscriber and service:
1.
For RADIUS login—Create the RADIUS record for the subscriber and include the
Activate-Service VSA in the record. Specify values for the parameters defined in
the service template name of the definition macro file.
For RADIUS CoA—Format the CoA message to create the RADIUS record for the
subscriber. Include the Activate-Service VSA in the record. Optionally, include the
Deactivate-Service VSA if the subscriber has an active service session that you want
to deactivate. Specify values for the parameters defined in the service template
name of the definition macro file.
NOTE: You specify the parameter values in the order in which the
parameters appear in the template name of the service definition file.
For example, in the tiered service that is defined in Figure 29 on page 640,
the template name is:
<# tiered(inputBW, outputBW) #>
For the RADIUS Activate-Service VSA, you specify values for the input
and output bandwidth:
tiered(1280000, 5120000)
Specify optional VSAs for the service session as needed:
2.
Service-Volume
Service-Timeout
Service-Statistics
For the RADIUS login method, the RADIUS VSAs for service activation, threshold
configuration, statistics configuration, and interim accounting in Access-Accept messages
at subscriber login are used by Service Manager to activate the appropriate service session.
For the RADIUS CoA method, Service Manager uses the VSAs for service activation and
deactivation, threshold configuration, statistics configuration, and interim accounting in
