Subscriber Management Models

The system administrator establishes the subscriber management model via the
Command Line Interface (CLI) or the Web Management Interface. These models can
be changed while the USG is running (without rebooting or interrupting the service).
Free Access –
! ! ! !
subscribers will have free access to the Internet.
MAC Address –
! ! ! !
unique MAC (hardware) address. The USG can be configured to allow
access for specified MAC addresses. In this model, when a subscriber
attempts to access the Internet, the USG validates the subscriber's MAC
address against a MAC authorization table. If the MAC address is verified,
the USG authorizes access to the Internet. A possible scenario for using this
model is to allow Internet access to administrative personnel in all locations.
Port-ID –
! ! ! !
supports VLAN tagging or SNMP queries for port-location, then all network
ports in each location can be assigned a unique Port-ID. In this model, when
a subscriber attempts to access the Internet, the USG recognizes which
location the request originated from and generates the data necessary for that
location to be billed. For more information about port locations, go to
"Optional Standalone Applications" on page
"
Even if your DSLAM or Ethernet switch does not support
VLAN tagging or SNMP queries for port-location, the USG has
the capability of "simulating" port locations by comparing its
MAC and Port-Location authorization tables through the AAA
Management Information Base (MIB).
User Name and Password –
! ! ! !
name and password (and be charged for it). In this model, when a subscriber
attempts to access the Internet, they are prompted for the user name and
password before access is authorized. Possible scenarios in which this model
is appropriate include allowing subscribers to use more than one computer,
when subscribers want to move between locations, or to integrate the service
with RADIUS (used by many Internet Service Providers).
Credit Card –
! ! ! !
attempt to access the Internet, they are prompted for their credit card
information. The USG is pre-configured to use the Authorize.Net service and
you will need to open a merchant trading account with them before using
this subscriber management model.
