Application Server
The application server is a combination of different services which are necessary for the management of user accounts and devices which provide connectivity to end-users. This are the services offered by the application server:
- AAA server: provides end-users and devices Authentication, Authorization and Accounting.
- Billing server:
- DHCP server: provides different range IP addresses depending on the requesting device.
- DNS server: provides easy to remember names for devices which compose the service network. Specially interesting for device management and maintenance.

- Maintenance server: different and necessary services for network maintenance such as TFTP, SYSLOG, Time service (NTP), Speed test and File sharing.
The Application Server could be one or a combination of several physical servers. Each server could hold just one machine or a combination of different virtual machines. This will be decided depending on physical servers availability as well as their resources.
System installation
The application server is based on Debian GNU/Linux 7.5 (wheezy) distribution. Due to fact that the server has two equal hard drives, during Debian installation software based RAID1 has been set up. These are the partitions:
- 1 100MB /boot
- 2 8 GB swap
- 3 Rest /
It is convenient to install a SSH server in order to access the server remotely for any reason. These are the steps followed to install the SSH server:
