Specifying the Authentication and Accounting Methods for Subscriber Access

You can specify the authentication and accounting methods that subscriber access management uses.

You can configure multiple authentication and accounting methods—the authentication-order and accounting order statements specify the order in which the subscriber access management feature uses the methods. For example, an authentication entry of radius password specifies that RADIUS authentication is performed first and, if it fails, local authentication (password) is done.

You can specify the following authentication methods:

Note: The password keyword is not supported by the subscriber access management feature in this release.

• password—Local authentication
• radius—RADIUS-based authentication

You can specify the following accounting methods:

• radius—RADIUS-based accounting

To configure the authentication and accounting methods for subscriber access management:

1. Specify the authentication methods and the order in which they are used.

   [edit access profile isp-bos-metro-fiber-basic]

   user@host# set authentication-order radius password

2. Specify the accounting method.

   [edit access profile isp-bos-metro-fiber-basic]

   user@host# set accounting order radius
