Configuration Overview 3-11
User Table
The User Table contains authentication and configuration
information for two types of users: Login Users and Network
Users. Note that you cannot have a Login User with the exact
same name as a Network User.
Login Login users are remote users dialing in to request
terminal service from an IP host. Once such a user is
authenticated, he or she is connected to a host with a
login service such as Telnet or Rlogin.
Network Network users are remote users dialing in to become
a virtual node of the local network. Such a user may
be an individual attaching to the network or an entire
LAN dialing in to route packets onto the local net-
work.
Keep in mind that entries in the user table will usually override
the settings for the port the user is connected to.
