Setting an Allow-Net

Note:

When adding the OCS using the auth add web command an allow-net is

automatically configured for you. An OCS server will always be added as an
allow-net entry when you use an OCS authentication server. This allows the
SMS2000 to redirect subscribers to the server before authentication. Other
servers may also be required in your allow-net, such as www.authorize.net (for
credit card authentication) and/or the address of any portal page that you want to
present for Web authentication.


To allow subscribers to access a specific subnet before they are authenticated, use the
following command:

set allow-net {ip_address [netmask] | dns-name}


For example, if an Internet service provider placed a page for a hotel called “Central Park
Hotel” at the following URL:

http://www.notarealserver.com/CentralParkHotel/index.html


And this embedded remote content directly in the page:

<script language=“JavaScript”
src=“http://dynamic.notasyndicate.com/newsphoto/photo.js”>


With the following DNS entries:

www.notarealserver.com 192.168.1.1
dynamic.notasyndicate.com 192.168.254.254


The Internet service provider would then configure the SMS2000 as follows:

1. Set an allow-net for the first DNS server.

sms2000%

set allow-net 192.168.1.1

or

sms2000% set allow-net notarealserver.com

2. Set an allow-net for the second DNS server.

sms2000%

set allow-net 192.168.254.254

or

sms2000% set allow-net notasyndicate.com

3. Set the redirection URL.

sms2000%

set authok

http://www.notarealserver.com/CentralParkHotel/index.html

Note:

You can specify multiple allow-nets by entering the set allow-net

command for each allow-net.
