RADIUS-S Configuration Options
- Attribute
- Description
- RADIUS Shared Secret
- Authenticates RADIUS messages received from external gateways (that is, PDSN or HA). This field must be configured with a value or the RADIUS-S protocol will not work. Also, each gateway must be configured to use this value when sending messages to the MPE device, or the messages received from that gateway will be dropped.
- Untiered Plan Name
- When the MPE device is set to RADIUS-S mode, this attribute indicates that a matching plan name does not participate in any tiered service plan. On a successful lookup for a given subscriber, the plan name returned by LDAP is compared to the Untiered Plan Name configured for the MPE device via the Policy Server tab. If they match, no default QoS values are sent to the gateway for the subscriber. If the Untiered Plan Name is null, this only matches if the subscriber has an entry in LDAP with no value for the associated attribute. The default value is null.
- Default Downstream Profile / Default Upstream Profile
- Define the upstream and downstream bandwidth parameters that are used when establishing a default traffic profile using RADIUS-S. You can override these parameters by configuring policy rules that apply different profiles. If a default profile is not configured, and the policy rules do not set the bandwidth parameters, a default traffic profile is sent to the Gateway to disable policing.
- Index by Username
- Select if the RADIUS database is indexed by subscriber account ID.
- Index by NAI
- Select if the RADIUS database is indexed by subscriber network address ID.
- Index by Calling Station ID
- Select if the RADIUS database is indexed by subscriber calling station ID.
- Index by IP Address
- Select if the RADIUS database is indexed by subscriber IP address.
