USRobotics NETServer/8 - Manual (Page 157)

Command Reference 10-7
NetBIOS Packet Propagation
On an IPX network, NetBIOS obtains information by broadcast-
ing type 20 packets to all networks. In order to fully support
NetBIOS over IPX, the NETServer must be configured to for-
ward type 20 broadcast packets across an IPX network. The
following command is used:
set netbios < on | off>
The default is off, which disables NetBIOS packet propagation.
PAP Authentication
This allows you to disable PAP authentication in order to force
routing connections to use the more secure CHAP protocol. The
default is on, which enables PAP authentication.
set pap < on | off>
Proxy ARP
Proxy ARP can be useful when an ARP request is received on
one interface, but the NETServer knows that the requested
address is actually reached through another interface. Since the
requested address is not actually on the subnet from which the
ARP originated, there is no way that the desired machine can
respond.
When proxy ARP is enabled, the NETServer will reply to such a
request with its own MAC address. Packets headed for the
requested system will then be sent to the NETServer, which in
turn forwards them to the appropriate address.
set proxy < on | off>
System Name
This is the NETServer’s system name, 15 characters maximum.
Required for LAN-to-LAN routing and CHAP authentication.
Also required if your network uses SNMP or IPX. If your
network has a name service, use the name assigned to the
NETServer. The following command sets the system name:
set sysname <name>
