subscriber Command

For dynamic interfaces that do not have a PPP layer, such as IPoA, you can use the subscriber command to configure an ATM 1483 subinterface to be authenticated automatically by the RADIUS server. The subscriber command uses a RADIUS username and optional password for identification and is available only for bridged Ethernet and IPoA configurations. This command is used for dynamic encapsulations that do not provide the authentication information remotely, as PPP does.

For dynamic interfaces with a PPP layer, the RADIUS username and password are obtained from the remote client, and authentication is performed with the RADIUS server. The attributes obtained from RADIUS can then be used to configure any higher-layer dynamic interfaces, such as IP, that are built over PPP.

For more information about using the subscriber command, see subscriber.
