Black Box 16 port - Manual (Page 79)

Black Box Console Server user guide 79
Remote ip address This is the IP address of the remote end of the SLIP link. This must be specified.
Choose an address which is part of the same network or subnetwork as the unit
(see comment in ‘Local ip address’ above). Enter the remote ip address in dot
notation, e.g.192.101.34.146
(or in the cli, example syntax would be: set slip li 5 ripaddr 192.101.34.146)
If your user is authenticated by the unit this remote ip address will be overridden
if you have set a ‘framed ip’ address for the user with values other than
255.255.255.254 or 255.255.255.255; see
Configuring a user account on page
100 , sub-section ‘framed ip’.
If your user is authenticated by RADIUS and the RADIUS parameter ‘Framed-
Address’ is set in the RADIUS file the unit will use the value in the RADIUS
file in preference to the ‘Remote ip address’ value configured here.
Subnet Mask this is the subnet mask of the node on the remote end of the SLIP link. This field
is optional. This parameter should be entered in dot notation e.g.
255.255.255.224
If your user is authenticated by RADIUS and the RADIUS parameter ‘Framed-
Netmask’ is set in the RADIUS file the unit will use the value in the RADIUS
file in preference to the ‘Subnet Mask’ value configured here.
Maximum
transmission unit The Maximum Transmission Unit (mtu) parameter restricts the size of
individual SLIP packets being sent by the unit. Enter a value in bytes between
256 and 1006, e.g. 512 (in the cli, example syntax would be: set slip li 1 mtu
512). The default value is 256. For more information on this parameter see
Configuring a user account on page 100 , sub-section ‘framed mtu’.
If your user is authenticated by the unit this mtu value will be overridden when
you have set a ‘framed mtu’ value for the user; see
Configuring a user account on
page 100 , sub-section ‘framed mtu’.
If your user is authenticated by RADIUS and the RADIUS parameter ‘Framed-
MTU’ is set in the RADIUS file the unit will use the value in the RADIUS file
in preference to the ‘mtu’ value configured here.
Suppress icmp This option causes ICMP (Internet Control Management Protocol) packets
directed to this SLIP link to be discarded. The possible values are ‘on’ and ‘off’;
the default is off.
Interactive
priority This determines whether interactive traffic (e.g. telnet sessions) is given priority
over batch type traffic (e.g. ftp) thus avoiding the situation where a user has to
wait for their character to be echoed while several large ftp packets are
transferred. The possible values are ‘on’ and ‘off’; the default is on.
