Check Subscriber Access

Checking Access

When you are confident that the installation and configuration tasks are complete and processing properly, try running a small amount of test traffic, following it through the system. Here are three ways to ascertain correct process of access from a subscriber perspective.

Testing Subscriber Access with 00.testAccessRequest.sh

00.testAccessRequest.sh is a test script used to test subscriber access to the ISG and CPS system.

You can find 00.testAccessRequest.sh in /opt/broadhop/installer/isg/troubleshooting directory on the CPS server.

To configure the subscriber used, edit the /opt/broadhop/installer/isg/troubleshooting/config.ini file.

Procedure

Step 1

In the config.ini file, change the User-Name and Password fields.

Note

 

You may need to change some of the other parameters in order to match your configuration. The other main attributes to change will be the NAS-IP-Address and Framed-IP-Address.

Step 2

Run the script from a command line. No arguments are necessary:

00.testAccessRequest.sh

Upon success, this output is displayed as follows:

Testing Subscriber Access with soapUI

This procedure tests end subscriber access to your system.

Procedure

Step 1

Download soapUI from here: http://www.soapui.org/

You only need the freeware version (not the soapUI Pro).

Step 2

Launch soapUI.

Step 3

Right click on Projects and select New soapUIProject from the drop-down list.

Step 4

Name your project and enter into Initial WSDL/WADL the appropriate WSDL URL (you may have to replace the IP in display with your own IP) and select OK.
