Hi Henry,

I understand your requirement.

Yes SBR carrier can be used for attaining the same authenticatriong user functionality like SBR enterprise aslong as the radius process is up & running along with active licenses loaded on the existing server.

It should not be a problem however please ensure you have an supported SBRC version if you need to get any support from Juniper support team etc once you implement this production.

SBRC end of life/End of support information can be accessed from the below URL.

http://www.juniper.net/support/eol/carrier_aaa_sw.html

on the whole your requirement  is possible and supported however you can also check with  Juniper account Team if you need information on migration to SBR enterprise if needed.

Hope this resolves your query.

Note: If I have answered your questions, you could mark this post as accepted solution, that way it could help others as well. Kudo will be a bonus thanks!

Regards,
Kannan

Are you planning to migrate SBR-Carrier to SBR-Enterprise ? or is that you want the same instance of SBR-Carrier to work as SBR-Enterprise now.

Which Version of SBR are you running now ? Which Platform ?

Hi Asnish

thanks for your reply

yes..we want the same instance of SBR-C to work as SBR-E

on production, we use SBR-C 7.3.1 on Solaris

and now, we are doing on our Lab first, by using SBR-C 7.4.1 on RHEL 6.1

thanks in advance

You cannot convert SBR-C instance to a SBR-E instance. They are not compatible. Especially with SBR-C 7.X and above, the Carrier code and Enterprise code have siginificant diffrences and any kind of migration is not supported.

Why do you want to convert from Carrier to Enterprise edition. I can't think of any feature that you could use in Enterprise which is not available in Carrier.

Thanks

HI Ashish

thanks for your reply

so, you mean that i cannot use SBR-E function ( auth for login to several router) on SBR-C software ?

this is our customer request

since their SBR-C not in use anymore, they want SBR-C use for auth login in their several router.

thanks in advance

Yes, you can use the SBR-C software for auth for login to several router.  

In fact I was under the impression that you wanted to convert the SBR-C software to SBR-E edition, which is not possible.

use fresh installation instead..
