A CCESS G ATEWAY24 IntroductionThe advantage of using IPSec is that all types of management traffic are supported, includingthe following typical examples: ICMP - PING from NOC to edge devices Telnet - Telnet from NOC to edge devices Web Management - HTTP access from NOC to edge devices SNMP SNMP GET from NOC to subscriber-side device (for example, AP) SNMP SET from NOC to subscriber-side device (for example, AP) SNMP Trap from subscriber-side device (for example, AP) to NOCSecure Socket Layer (SSL)This feature allows for the creation of an end-to-end encrypted link between your NSE-powered product and wireless clients by enabling the Internal Web Server (IWS) to displaypages under a secure link—important when transmitting AAA information in a wirelessnetwork when using RADIUS.SSL requires service providers to obtain digital certificates to create HTTPS pages.Instructions for obtaining certificates are provided by Nomadix.Secure XML APIXML (Extensible Markup Language) is used by the subscriber management module for useradministration. The XML interface allows the NSE to accept and process XML commandsfrom an external source. XML commands are sent over the network to your NSE-poweredproduct which executes the commands, and returns data to the system that initiated thecommand request. XML enables solution providers to customize and enhance their productinstallations.This feature allows the operator to use Nomadix' popular XML API using the built-in SSLcertificate functionality in the NSE so that parameters passed between the Gateway and thecentralized Web server are secured via SSL.If you plan to implement XML for external billing, please contact technicalsupport for the XML specification of your product.
