3. Configure the required network options for the user, by entering a command simi-
lar to the following:
set user name=<username> IpAddr=<ipaddress> IpMask=<ipmask>
LocalIpAddr=<local_ip_address> NetRouting=<option>
Protocol=<protocol> Compression=<type> [VJSlots=<slots>]
MTU=<size> PPPAuth=<type> [PapId=<string>]
[PapPasswd=<password>][ChapId=<string>] [ChapId=<key_value>]
Passive=<on/off> AddrCompress=<on/off>
ProtoCompress=<on/off>
The parameters for this command are described below:
IPAddr
If set to an IP address, this specifies the remote host that
will originate the connection request. If set to
0.0.0.0
or
negotiated
, the host negotiates the address to use
with PortServer II; this option is useful if connection
requests may be originated by more than one host or the
host addresses are unknown, for example, if your PortS-
erver II is connected to an anonymous dial-up user. If set
to
ippool
, the address is obtained from the dynamic IP
address pool.
IPMask
The IP mask that is applied to the address specified in
IPAddr. If the mask is not
255.255.255.255
,
PortServer II assumes a router is present on the other
end of the connection, and the router can forward
packets to all other addresses on the network or subnet
specified.
LocalIPAdr
Assigns an IP address to the local end of a point-to-point
link. If this is set to
0.0.0.0
, the IP address of
PortServer II’s Ethernet interface is used (“unnumbered
operation”), unless the remote host uses PPP to negotiate
a different address.
