Software and Management Systems

Purpose

 

 

CiscoSecure Unix, version 2.3(3)

Authenticates, authorizes, and accounts for dial access

 

clients in each POP by using RADIUS.

 

Authenticates, authorizes, and accounts for router

 

administrators in the NOC by using TACACS+.

 

Uses AAA accounting records to collect performance

 

data, fault data, and track router configuration changes.

 

 

War Dialer

Runs performance tests by using a dial simulator and

 

client PCs.

 

 

Configuration Design Parameters

Before THEnet can implement and operate the dial NMS, several design parameters must be defined by the network engineers and operators.

Each dial POP requires enough IP address space for the POP to grow to its maximum size. For THEnet, each POP must support up to 50,000 lines. Therefore, an entire class B network is initially assigned to each POP.
