Access Profiles and Service Profiles Overview
Dynamic profiles enable you to configure parameters that enable access and services to subscribers.
Access profiles, also known as client profiles, contain the parameters to grant access and provide basic service to a subscriber during initial login. By configuring the access profile with Junos OS predefined variables, you also enable the service to be activated for those subscribers at login. The RADIUS variables in an access profile map to one or more VSAs.
Service profiles contain parameters that activate or deactivate services for a subscriber. You can apply a service profile with an access profile at login, or apply the service profile separately to modify a service. A service profile maps to a Service VSA.
