Configuring a NIC for the SRC VTA (SRC CLI)
For demonstrations and installations with few subscribers, you can configure the SRC VTA to use a NIC proxy stub, which explicitly defines a set of data mappings. However, for most standard installation with a significant number of subscribers and multiple SAEs, you need to set up a full NIC configuration. The requirement to set up a NIC depends on your SRC VTA configuration. For example, configure a NIC if you specify an action that affects more than just the current subscriber described by an event.
To configure a NIC for the SRC VTA:
- Use the OnePopLogin configuration scenario (see NIC Configuration Scenarios).
- Plan and configure the NIC hosts. See Configuring the NIC (SRC CLI).
- Add the NIC SAE agents to each SAE configuration as external
plug-ins. Specify these plug-in attributes: router-name, session-id,
user-type, login-name, and user-ip-address.
For information about configuring SAE plug-ins, see Configuring the SAE for External Plug-Ins (SRC CLI).
- (Optional) Configure a NIC proxy stub. See Configuring NIC Test Data (SRC CLI) for information about configuring the NIC proxy stub.
- Configure a NIC proxy for the SRC VTA. See Configuring NIC Proxies for the SRC VTA.
