Services for the SRC Software Overview
The SRC software supports four types of services:
- Normal—Policy-based service.
- Aggregate—Group of services, handled as a unit.
- Infrastructure—Service that can be provisioned only once and then activated a number of times for one or more subscribers across network devices.
- Script—Custom service into which you can insert or reference a script that provisions policies on a number of systems across a network, including networks that contain devices that do not have supported device drivers.
 | Note: The name configured for the service is case-sensitive. Hence, you must use the same configured name in all instances. |
Use aggregate and infrastructure services together to apply policies across routers running JunosE and Junos OS, and other systems that have a supported device driver.
Use script services to create customized service implementations, such as a service to configure firewall policies on a device that does not have a supported device driver—for example, a Juniper Networks NetScreen-5GT appliance.
Automatic Service Activation
You can configure a permanent service—a service that the SAE automatically activates when it starts a subscriber session for subscribers who use that service. A typical application of this feature is to automatically activate a particular video service for all subscribers associated with a particular retailer. You can allow subscribers to deactivate the service, or prohibit them from deactivating it, after the SAE has automatically activated it. To make a service permanent, set the permanent option in the service configuration.
