> # Configuring the SAE for SRC ACP

> ## Configuring SRC ACP as an External Plug-In

> To configure an external plug-in for the SAE:

> 1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures the external plug-ins.
>    `
>    user@host# edit shared sae configuration plug-ins name name external
>    `
> 2. Specify the the plug-in attributes.
>    `
>    [edit shared sae configuration plug-ins name name external]
>    user@host# set attributes ?
>    `

>    For edge and dual modes—upstream-bandwidth, downstream-bandwidth, service-name, router-name, login-name, user-dn, port-id, session-id, user-ip-address, nas-ip, user-session-id, event-time

>    For backbone mode—upstream-bandwidth, downstream-bandwidth, service-name, router-name, session-id, nas-ip, event-time

>    For more information about configuring plug-in attributes, see Configuring the SAE for External Plug-Ins.

> ## Configuring Event Publishers

> You must configure the SAE to publish the following types of events to SRC ACP:

> - (Edge and dual mode only) Global subscriber tracking
> - Global service authorization
> - Global service tracking

> For information about configuring event publishers, see Special Types of Event Publishers. Identify the instance of SRC ACP by the name of the host on which you configured it.

> ## Configuring the SAE to Monitor Interfaces for Congestion Points

> | Note: Configure this feature only if SRC ACP is in backbone or dual mode.

> The SAE uses a hosted internal plug-in to monitor the state of interfaces on a VR for backbone congestion points. If a subscriber tries to activate a service on an interface that is unavailable, the SAE denies the request. The plug-in also monitors the directory for new backbone congestion points.

> When this plug-in initializes, it reads all the backbone services from the directory and generates a list of the DNs (network interfaces) of the backbone congestion points. The SAE sends interface tracking events, which contain the names of the interfaces, VRs, and routers to this plug-in. For this feature to work correctly, the interface, VR, and router must be configured (see Configuring Network Interfaces in the Directory for the Backbone Network).

> To configure the ACP interface listener as an internal plug-in for the SAE:

> 1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures the ACP interface listener.
>    `
>    user@host# edit shared sae configuration plug-ins name name acp-interface-listener
>    `
> 2. Specify the IP address or name of the host that supports the directory that contains backbone service definitions and network interfaces.
>    `
>    [edit shared sae configuration plug-ins name name acp-interface-listener]
>    user@host# set ldap-server ldap-server
>    `
> 3. Specify the DN of the directory entry that defines the username with which the plug-in accesses the directory.
>    `
>    [edit shared sae configuration plug-ins name name acp-interface-listener]
>    user@host# set bind-dn bind-dn
>    `
> 4. Specify the password with which the plug-in accesses the directory.
>    `
>    [edit shared sae configuration plug-ins name name acp-interface-listener]
>    user@host# set bind-password bind-password
>    `
> 5. Specify whether the connection to the directory uses secure LDAP. If you do not configure a security protocol, plain socket is used.
>    `
>    [edit shared sae configuration plug-ins name name acp-interface-listener]
>    user@host# set ldaps
>    `
> 6. Specify the DN at which SRC ACP stores backbone congestion points.
>    `
>    [edit shared sae configuration plug-ins name name acp-interface-listener]
>    user@host# set congestion-points-base-dn congestion-points-base-dn
>    `
> 7. Specify the DN at which SRC ACP stores edge congestion points.
>    `
>    [edit shared sae configuration plug-ins name name acp-interface-listener]
>    user@host# set admission-control-base-dn admission-control-base-dn
>    `
> 8. (Optional) Specify the maximum time that the plug-in waits for the router to respond.
>    `
>    [edit shared sae configuration plug-ins name name acp-interface-listener]
>    user@host# set timeout timeout
>    `
> 9. Specify the object reference for the ACP plug-in, as defined by the object reference for SRC ACP (see information about the acp-ior option in Configuring SRC ACP Properties).
>    `
>    [edit shared sae configuration plug-ins name name acp-interface-listener]
>    user@host# set acp-remote-corba-ior acp-remote-corba-ior
>    `
> 10. (Optional) Verify your configuration.

>         [edit shared sae configuration plug-ins name name acp-interface-listener]
>         user@host# show
