Chapter 2 Understanding Cisco Access Registrar
Cisco AR Directory Structure
concurrently, you might create two Session Managers and three Resource Managers. One dynamic IP
Resource Manager that is referenced by both Session Managers, and two concurrent session Resource
Managers, one for each Session Manager.
In addition, Cisco Access Registrar lets you pose queries about sessions. For example, you can query
Cisco Access Registrar about which session (and thus which NAS-Identifier, NAS-Port and/or
User-Name) owns a particular resource, as well as query Cisco Access Registrar about how many
resources are allocated or how many sessions are active.
Cisco AR Directory Structure
The installation process populates the /opt/CSCOar directory with the subdirectories listed in Table 2-1 .
Note This directory structure is different from that of previous version of Cisco AR.
Program Flow
When a NAS sends a request packet to Cisco Access Registrar with a name and password, Cisco Access
Registrar performs the following actions. Note,
Table 2-2 describes the flow without regard to scripting
points.
