Managing Subscriber Service Sessions by Using the CLI Overview

The CLI-based Service Manager creates static subscriber sessions and service sessions. You can also use CLI commands to immediately deactivate subscriber service sessions. The CLI-based support is particularly useful for:

• Testing your service definitions—for example, you might use the CLI commands to verify that a newly created service definition is correct. When you are satisfied with the service definition, you can then use RADIUS to activate the service for your subscribers.
• Preprovisioning Service Manager services—preprovisioning improves performance and efficiency by freeing Service Manager from having to repeatedly create and remove a service that you activate and deactivate for multiple subscribers. See Preprovisioning Service Sessions for more information about service preprovisioning.
