Commissioning
Whether you are a corporate end user or a competitive Internet service provider (ISP), you have
purchased a Cisco AS5800 network access server (NAS) to provide dialup services that facilitate
accessibility for remote or roaming personnel, or Internet admission to consumers for e-mail,
e-commerce, and web browsing.
This chapter details Cisco AS5800 commissioning, or the formal functional setup of the equipment,
through systematic software configurations, to initially prepare the system for data/voice call
processing.
In our discussion, local-based authentication is used. After the Cisco AS5800 hardware is
commissioned, PPP is configured and tested as described in“Configuring PPP and Authentication”
section on page 3-25.
Note A AAA RADIUS server is recommended. AAA Radius server discussions are available in
the “Configuring RADIUS” section on page 4-14.
