Subscribers Overview
A subscriber is an object in the directory for which you can configure subscriptions to services. The SRC software distinguishes between types of subscribers, as described in Table 3.
Table 3: Types of Subscribers
Subscriber | Description |
|---|---|
Retailers | Internet service providers who either manage their own subscribers or outsource the management of subscribers to a service provider who deploys the SRC software. The SRC software uses retailer objects to group subscribers who belong to an administrative domain. |
Residential | Individual subscribers or households—multiple subscribers who use one or more computers and share the same connection. In a household, subscribers can share the same service subscription or can have their own individualized service profiles. |
Enterprise | An organization, such as a corporation. An enterprise subscriber can contain site subscribers that represent physical locations or groups within the organization. Enterprises and sites contain access subscribers; an access represents a layer 2 connection between a device at a customer’s physical location and a router that gives the enterprise subscribers access to the Internet and, in some cases, a virtual private network (VPN). |
Sites | One or more locations—physical or virtual—within an enterprise that share service subscriptions and physical access to services and that are each managed as a unique entity. For example, the XYM Corporation might have a site in Boston and a site in Toronto. Each of these sites can have its own set of subscribed services. |
Device | An SRC-managed device that is used to activate services on nonsubscriber interfaces. It is used primarily to provide integration with applications that use traffic mirroring on devices running Junos OS. |
Subscriber folders | Objects that group subscribers. |
