Provisioning

Chapter 8 - Provisioning

The SMS2000 is capable of performing provisioning by using an external server (OCS or RADIUS) or internally using groups and rules. For more information on using the OCS to provision the SMS2000, see the OCS User’s Guide. For more information on RADIUS, see Chapter 13, “Using SMS2000 with a RADIUS Server.” Scenarios for performing these functions in various configurations are described below.

Table 8-1 shows how provisioning is performed with no external server, with RADIUS, with the OCS, and internally.

Table 8-1 Provisioning

Server	Functionality
With No External	SMS2000 based rules and groups allow you to target services at sets of
Server	subscribers. For more information on using groups and rules, see Chapter
	10, “Groups and Rules.”
With RADIUS	RADIUS may set a user’s IP address and traffic shaping parameters. The
	provisioning of user names and services must be done either manually or
	by a separate provisioning server supplied for ISPs by a number of
	software vendors.
With OCS	The OCS can handle provisioning of new users by either network
	administrators or users themselves (self-provisioning). A number of user
	attributes can be controlled, including addressing and traffic shaping.
