You can display the current-time quota setting and the balance of outgoing connect time by entering
either:
dialup interface status
or
dialup interface quota
A typical status display is:
(tcp/ip)croy> dialup modem0 status
modem0: (14400/V1.500-CP39F)
DTR On RTS On CTS On DSR On RI Off DCD Off
demand listening Timeout: 65535 Idle: 0:02:29:16
Remote phone: 14
Total time con: 0:01:36:13 Time since last boot: 5:03:59:32
Average daily connected time: 0:00:18:37
Daily quota: 1:00:00:00 Used: 0:00:14:09 Left: 0:23:45:51
Usage warning currently set at: 0:04:00:00
(tcp/ip)croy>
For more information, refer to the dialup command in Section 2.9 of the Reference Manual.
Use dialup status to determine the amount of dialup quota available on a particular interface.
Typically, if you are averaging 1 hour of outgoing connect time per day, set your quota to 2 or 3 hours.
NOTE
Set your quota time slightly higher than the amount of time you expect to use, to
ensure that legitimate connections are not disrupted.
B.2.2 H OW TO T EMPORARILY I NCREASE THE T IME Q UOTA
You want to set the dialup-time quota higher than normal for a day, issue the dialup quota command to
reset the time quota for the current day only. For example, if you have reached your normal limit of four
hours (240 minutes), and want a few more hours to complete your work, then enter the command:
dialup modem0 quota 120
This command will reset the time quota to two more hours for today, for the modem0 interface. This
command also sets the limit to a total of two hours on subsequent days. After using the increased time,
remember to reset the time quota back to your normal limit tomorrow.
B.2.3 U SE THE R OUTER ’ S P REDEFINED IP F ILTERS
Typically, the Router can be configured to be the Internet entry point to the corporate network. All
services that are defined to be reachable from the Internet are running on one public server. Other
hosts (internal servers) cannot be reached from the Internet, but all local users are allowed to access
servers on the Internet. When a Router is being used to provide Internet access for a corporate network,
consider using the predefined IP filters to limit activities by Internet users who are ouside of your
network. This list of IP filters is sometimes called an IP firewall.
There are two ways to install the predefined IP filters: during initial configuration or when executing
config modify.
