A CCESS G ATEWAY142 System AdministrationZone MigrationZone migration is an expansion of the NSE’s “re-login after migration” capability, which currently allows thesystem to force a subscriber to log in again if the subscriber moves from one port location to another. Zonemigration significantly expands this capability via the following means: It allows the creation of multiple zones, which are then constituted by groupings of multiple portlocations. These groupings can be made up of any combination of desired ports (port values do nothave to be sequential in order to be grouped within a given zone). The re-login requirement can then be configured so that subscribers can move from one port toanother within a zone without being required to re-login. However, when moving between ports indifferent zones, the re-login requirement is enforced. It is also possible to configure a zone so that migration between ports within the zone requires theuser to re-login. In addition, the re-login after migration function was previously limited to RADIUS and PMSusers. This capability has now been extended to other subscriber login types.1.
