AAA driver description
1 AAA driver description
1.1 AAA driver capabilities
The AAA driver extends the 5620 SAM fault management support to 8950 AAA devices so that
alarms related to the 8950 AAA can be viewed in the 5620 SAM GUI. The AAA GNE driver version
1.0.0 allows the 5620 SAM to perform fault management for 8950 AAA servers.
1.2 8950 AAA in the Small Cell network
The 8950 AAA server provides authentication, authorization, and accounting services for wired,
wireless, and converged networks. The 8950 AAA supports the RADIUS protocol for authentication
services. In the Small Cell network, the 8950 AAA supports EAP Authentication and Key Agreement
(EAP-AKA), the proprietary EAP-DS2460, and Femto-Authorize-Only authentication methods. The
8950 AAA interfaces with external databases, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
servers, and others to authenticate and authorize Small Cell access points. These external servers
store authentication details about users, authorization profiles, and blacklisted user data.
The 8950 AAA is used for the initial authentication of SC APs before the IPSec tunnel is
established.

• Discovery
The 5620 SAM supports the discovery of the 8950 AAA.
• Link management

automatically for link recovery. When the link is recovered, the 5620 SAM clears the alarm
• Fault management
The 5620 SAM normalizes fault events from the 8950 AAA and shows them in the context of the
8950 AAA in the SAM GUI. See the AAAAlarmDictionary.xml file for details.
• Reach-through to the 8950 AAA from the 5620 SAM GUI
