Configure Remote Site Profiles
Remote Site Profiles allow the router to have different sets of configuration parameters for
each of the remote site routers that may be called or that may call this router. This allows
complete control over the configuration of each possible connection.
Each remote site profile is assigned an identification number when it is created, whether it is
created automatically under auto-learning or manually by the user editing the remote site
profile. The remote site is also named with an alias, which provides a more descriptive
identifier for the remote site profile. For example, a remote site profile may be created with
a name that describes the location of the remote router or a user name on an incoming
connection. The alias may be up to 16 characters long and must begin with an alphabetic
character (blanks and the character ”!” are not allowed).
There can be up to 128 remote site profiles. The ID numbers are assigned automatically in
ascending order as the site profiles are created.
ID numbers 129, 130 and 131 are templates for creating remote site profiles with ISDN.
Frame Relay or Leased Line connections respectively. A template may have its parameters
set to match common network configurations and then be used to quickly set-up a new site.
In addition to the reserved templates, you can use any remote site as a template to create a
new site.
The remote site profile allows the definition of various connection parameters: Circuit set-
up, Bridge and Routing protocol configuration, activation criteria and security.
The following steps must be performed on the router in order to define a new remote site
profile.

Edit Remote Site
The remote site alias must be entered. The remote site profile is then
created, an ID number is automatically assigned to it and the remote site
profile is opened for editing. If a remote site profile already exists, either
the ID number or the alias may be provided to access the site profile for
editing.
