Serial Port Profiles
Remote Access (SLIP) Profile
Overview
The Remote Access (SLIP) profile configures a serial port to allow a remote user to establish a SLIP
connection to the IOLAN’s serial port. This is typically used with a modem for dial-in or dial-out
access to the network.
General Tab Field Descriptions
Configure the following parameters:
Local IP Address The IPv4 address of the IOLAN end of the SLIP link. For routing to work you
must enter an IP address in this field. Choose an address that is part of the same
network or subnetwork as the remote end; for example, if the remote end is
address 192.101.34.146, your local IP address can be 192.101.34.145. Do not
use the IOLAN’s (main) IP address in this field; if you do so, routing will not
take place correctly.
Remote IP Address The IPv4 address of the remote end of the SLIP link. Choose an address that is
part of the same network or subnetwork as the IOLAN. If your user is
authenticated by the IOLAN, this remote IP address will be overridden if you
have set a
Framed IP Address for the user. If your user is authenticated by
RADIUS and the RADIUS parameter Framed-Address is set in the RADIUS
file, the IOLAN will use the value in the RADIUS file in preference to the
value configured here.
Subnet Mask The network subnet mask. For example, 255.255.0.0. If your user is
authenticated by RADIUS and the RADIUS parameter
Framed-Netmask is set
in the RADIUS file, the IOLAN will use the value in the RADIUS file in
preference to the value configured here.
