Build a MX subscriber management solution along with RADIUS authentication, authorization, accounting, and Change of Authorization (CoA) using Juniper’s Steel-Belted Radius.
Day One: SBR Change of Authorization (CoA) and the MX Series
By John Rolfe
This book describes the steps needed to build a MX subscriber management solution along with RADIUS authentication, authorization, accounting, and change of authorization using Juniper’s Steel Belted Radius (SBR). The author walks you through the process, step-by-step, setting up a dynamic profile on the MX, setting firewall/policers to the profile via RADIUS, and then changing those values via RADIUS CoA. Then John Rolfe guides you through the required XML envelopes, setting up a web server, and implementing a self-service portal to invoke the CoA, utilizing an HTML Web page with a PHP script built on XAMPP (from Apache Friends), which includes the Apache web server, PHP, Perl, and other components.
Day One: SBR Change of Authorization (CoA) and the MX Series is meant for the lab, for a day exploring the basic tenets of software defined networks (SDN) by using the MX Series, Junos, and SBR to create a CoA solution.
Juniper CoA solutions can enable a number of network use cases, from automating service provisioning, to credit card authorization portals, to self-service portals for network and subscriber provisioning. Learn the basics here, in a day, and you’ll be able to explore these and other use cases for your own network needs.
IT’S DAY ONE AND YOU HAVE A JOB TO DO, SO LEARN HOW TO:
• Handle DHCP subscribers using MX DHCP local server.
• Configure IP demux on the subscriber interface.
• Create QoS configuration templates for deployment.
• Build dynamic profiles using the firewall filter/policer for QOS.
• Use SBR Carrier using Session Control Module (SCM) for CoA.
• Utilize SBR Carrier XML over HTTPS API.
• Perform PHP scripting to implement the HTTPS XML post.
• Build a basic Apache web server page.
