AG 5500
64 System Administration
8. If AAA passthrough is enabled, enter the corresponding port number.
9. Enable or disable the 802.1x Authentication Support feature, as required.
10. Enable or disable the Origin Server (OS) parameter encoding for Portal Page and EWS
feature, as required.
11. You can choose to Enable failover to Internal Web Server Authentication if Portal
Page/External Web Server is not reachable
by placing a check in that box.
12. Enable of disable Port Based Billing Policies.
The Port Location capabilities on the NSE have been enhanced. It is now possible to
define a policy on a port. The billing methods (RADIUS, Credit Card, PMS, L2TP
Tunneling) and the billing plans available on each port can now be individually
configured.
This ability allows for having different billing methods and billing plans on different ports
of the NSE. A practical application of this feature is to have a normal hotel room with a
plan A that is $9.99 for a day with PMS billing and have a meeting room with a plan of
$14.99 an hour with Credit Card billing.
In order for the port-based policies to work, you must enable Port Based Billing Policies.
See also “Adding and Updating Port-Location Assignments {Add}” on page 163.
13. Depending on which authorization mode you choose, go to the following sub-sections in
this procedure:
z Enabling AAA Services with the Internal Web Server – The IWS is “flashed” into the
system’s memory and the subscriber’s login page is served directly from the AG
5500. In this mode, the login page consists of a simple request for the subscriber’s ID
(user name) and password.
z Enabling AAA Services with an External Web Server – In the EWS mode, the AG
5500 redirects the subscriber’s login request to an external server (transparent to the
subscriber). The login page served by the EWS reflects the “look and feel” of the
solution provider’s network and presents more login options.
The port number must be different than 80, 2111, 1111, or 1112.
Both AAA and RADIUS Authentication must be enabled for 802.1x
Authentication support.
Both AAA and RADIUS Authentication must be enabled for 802.1x
Authentication support.
