When you configure AAA authentication and accounting services for your B-RAS environment, one important task is to specify the authentication and accounting method used. The JUNOSe software gives you the flexibility to configure authentication or accounting methods based on the type of subscriber. This feature allows you to enable RADIUS authentication for some subscribers, while disabling authentication completely for other subscribers. Similarly, you can enable RADIUS accounting for some subscribers, but no accounting for others. For example, you might use RADIUS authentication for ATM 1483 subscribers, while granting IP subscriber management interfaces access without authentication (using the none keyword).
You can specify the authentication or accounting method you want to use, or you can specify multiple methods in the order in which you want them used. For example, if you specify the radius keyword followed by the none keyword when configuring authentication, AAA initially attempts to use RADIUS authentication. If no RADIUS servers are available, AAA uses no authentication. The JUNOSe software currently supports radius and none as accounting methods and radius, none, and local as authentication methods. See Configuring Local Authentication Servers for information about local authentication.
You can configure authentication and accounting methods based on the following types of subscribers:

Note: IP subscriber management interfaces are static or dynamic interfaces that are created or managed by the JUNOSe software’s subscriber management feature. |
