In residential broadband networks numerous subscribers can be provisioned that can require significant changes on a daily basis. Manually configuring the applicable parameters for each subscriber would be prohibitive. The Nokia 7450 ESS and 7750 SR have been designed to support fully dynamic provisioning of access, QoS and security aspects for residential subscribers using DHCP to obtain an IP address. Enabling Enhanced Subscriber Management (ESM) drastically reduces the configuration burden.
ESM in the 7450 ESS and 7750 SR supports many vendor's access nodes and network aggregation models, including VLAN per customer, per service or per access node.
