Modifying an active subscriber profile is potentially service-affecting.

Ensure that you consider the implications of reconfiguring the subscriber profile before you proceed.

Click Create→Subscriber Profile or choose an existing Subscriber Profile and click Properties. The Subscriber Profile (Create|Edit) form opens.

Configure the required parameters.

You can designate a subscriber profile as the default profile by specifying the case-sensitive name “default” for the Displayed Name parameter. The Displayed Name parameter is configurable only during subscriber profile creation.

The Egress Aggregate Rate Limit and Frame Base Accounting parameters are configurable only when a scheduler is not specified in the Egress Scheduler panel.

The Virtual Port Hashing parameter applies only to standard LAG ports. The Secondary Shaper Hashing parameter applies only to HSMDA and HSQ ports. Both of these parameters can also be configured on a local definition of an existing subscriber profile, accessed on the Local Definitions tab.

Configure policies to associate with the subscriber profile.

1. Select an accounting policy in the Accounting Policy panel and configure the Volume Stats Type parameter.

2. Configure the required policy objects on the subscriber profile:

   • ANCP policy

   • host tracking policy

   • NAT policy

   • IGMP policy

   • MLD policy

   • subscriber multicast CAC policy

   • PIM policy

   • UPnP policy

   • NAT prefix list (NAT policy must also be configured)

   • Firewall policy

Click on the Scheduling tab and configure the required parameters.

An additional parameter, Encapsulation Offset Mode, can be configured using the XML API.

Configure LAG per-link hashing parameters, if required.

Select an ingress or egress scheduler in the Ingress or Egress panel.

You cannot specify an egress scheduler in a subscriber profile when the Egress Aggregate Rate Limit parameter is set to a value greater than zero.

Configure HS Egress Aggregate Rate Limit parameters, as required.

Click on the RADIUS Accounting tab and select first, second, and third RADIUS accounting policies. Depending on the NE version, the third RADIUS accounting policy option may not be displayed.

If you configure the Optimize for Session Accounting parameter to reduce accounting messages in a dual stack PPP session configuration, you must also configure the Delay Start Time parameter on the RADIUS accounting policies; see To configure a RADIUS-based accounting policy.
