SM Configuration: Configures authenticated SMs with MIR (Maximum Information Rate), CIR (Committed
Information Rate), High Priority, and VLAN (Virtual LAN) parameters from the RADIUS server when an SM
registers to an AP.
SM Accounting provides support for RADIUS accounting messages for usage-based billing. This accounting
includes indications for subscriber session establishment, subscriber session disconnection, and bandwidth
usage per session for each SM that connects to the AP.
Centralized AP and SM user name and password management allows AP and SM usernames and access
levels (Administrator, Installer, Technician) to be centrally administered in the RADIUS server instead of on
each radio and tracks access events (logon/logoff) for each username on the RADIUS server. This
accounting does not track and report specific configuration actions performed on radios or pull statistics
such as bit counts from the radios. Such fun
ctions require an Element Management System (EMS) such as
Cambium Networks Wireless Manager. This accounting is not the ability to perform accounting functions on
the subscriber/end user/customer account.
Framed IP
allows operators to use a RADIUS server to assign management IP addressing to SM modules
(framed IP address).
Planning for SNMP security
Canopy modules provide the following Configuration web page parameters in the SNMP tab. These govern SNMP
access from the manager to the agent:
Community String, which specifies the password for security between managers and the agent.
Accessing Subnet, which specifies the subnet mask that allows managers to poll the agents.
