5.6 BANDWIDTHANDAUTHENTICATIONMANAGER
Cyclone Bandwidth and Authentication Manager (BAM) software allows you to use
• a primary server to distribute bandwidth resources per subscriber, require SMs to
authenticate per AP, and deny service to unauthorized SMs.
• a secondary server to redundantly store identical SM bandwidth and
authentication data and become governing if the primary server goes out of
service.
• an optional tertiary server to do the same if both the primary and secondary
servers go out of service.
In BAM Release 2.1, subscriber administration for an SM or batch of SMs is performed
as follows:
◦ Insert the ESNs.
◦ Specify MIR and Security attributes.
◦ Specify CIR attributes.
◦ Specify whether BAM should send its stored CIR attributes.
◦ Specify VLAN attributes.
◦ Specify whether BAM should send its stored VLAN attributes.
