Configuring Network Users

7-6

PortMaster Configuration Guide

To set the user IP address for a normal network user, use the following command:

Command> set user Username destination assigned|negotiated|Ipaddress

Setting the Subnet Mask

Do not set a subnet mask for a network user unless the user is routed to another
network from your network. In that case, set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.255.

To set the subnet mask, use the following command:

Command> set user Username netmask Ipmask

Setting the IPX Network Number

If you are using the IPX protocol for this user, you must assign a unique IPX number to
the network connection between the remote user device and the PortMaster. Each
user’s connection requires a different IPX network number. If you use fffffffe as the IPX
network number, the PortMaster assigns the user an IPX network number based on an
IP address from the IP address pool.

Note – Do not set a value of all 0s (zeros) or all Fs for the IPX network number.

To set the IPX network number, use the following command:

Command> set user Username ipxnet Ipxnetwork

Configuring RIP Routing

As described in the PortMaster Routing Guide, PortMaster products automatically send and
accept route information as RIP messages.

To configure RIP routing for a network user, use the following command:

Command> set user Username rip on|off|broadcast|listen

Note – ComOS releases prior to 3.5 used the keyword routing instead of the rip
keyword.
