PANA: SNMP usage for PAA-2-EP interface
Alcatel
The PANA Authentication Agent (PAA) does not necessarily act as an Enforcement Point (EP) to prevent unauthorized access or usage of the network. When a PANA Client (PaC) successfully authenticates itself to the PAA, EP(s) (e.g., access routers) will need to be suitably notified. The PANA working group mandates the use of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to deliver the authorization information to one or more EPs when the PAA is separated from EPs. The present document provides the necessary information and extensions needed to use SNMP as the PAA-2-EP protocol.
