10-46 Command Reference

For example to escape the ASCII null character, the command
would be

set s0 map 00000001

The default is 00000000 (do not escape any characters). We
recommend that you do not change this field unless specifically
required by your network.

Protocol

This field indicates what protocol the NETServer should use to
encapsulate packets going across the hardwired serial connec-
tion. The default is SLIP Use the following command:

set s0 protocol <

ppp | slip>

WARNING:

We strongly discourage using SLIP for a dedicated

Hardwired connection. SLIP has no security. This means that
any user (legitimate or not) who gains access to your network
may send an receive any packet once the connection is
established.

Routing

This determines whether the port exchanges RIP messages
(route information) across the serial connection. The default is
Listen. Use the following command:

set s0 routing <option>

Valid options are:

On

The NETServer sends RIP information across the
serial connection as well as listening for dynamic
routes received.

Broadcast

The NETServer sends RIP information across the
serial connection, but does not listen for dynamic
routes received.

Listen

The NETServer accepts RIP information from the
serial connection, but does not send dynamic routes
to that port.

Off

The NETServer does not exchange RIP information
across the serial connection.
