Service activation engine (SAE)
|
- Authorizes, activates, and deactivates subscriber and service sessions by interacting with systems such as Juniper Networks routers, cable modem termination system (CMTS) devices, RADIUS servers, and directories.
- Collects accounting information about subscribers and services from routers, and stores the information in RADIUS accounting servers, flat files, and other accounting databases.
- Provides plug-ins and application programming interfaces (APIs) for starting and stopping subscriber and service sessions and for integrating with systems that authorize subscriber actions and track resource usage.

|
Enterprise Audit Plug-In
|
Defines a callback interface, which receives events when IT managers complete specified operations.
|
Enterprise Manager Portal
|
Allows service providers to provision services for enterprise subscribers on JUNOSe routers and JUNOS routing platforms and that allows IT managers to manage services.
Enterprise Manager Portal can be used with NAT Address Management Portal to allows service providers to manage public IP addresses for use with NAT services on JUNOS routing platforms and to all IT managers to make requests about public IP addresses through the Enterprise Manager Portal.
