5-8 Network Dial In Access

Step 3 - Add configuration information for the user

You must set the following parameters. All other parameters are
optional.

IP Address

This is the dial in user’s IP address for the duration of the
connection. This address can be selected in three different ways.

Assigned

The user is dynamically assigned an address from
a pre-defined pool of IP addresses. This requires
that an Assigned Address pool be defined (See
Global Configuration in Chapter 10).

Negotiated

PPP connections only. The NETServer tries to
learn the remote computer’s IP address using
IPCP address negotiation.

IP address

The user has a fixed IP address, which is specified
here.

Use the following command:

set user <name> destination <address>

The address can be assigned, negotiated or an actual IP address.
The last line in the example below is a specified address.

set user User1 destination assigned
set user User2 destination negotiated
set user User3 destination 192.77.24.127

IPX Network

If the dial in user wants to talk IPX, the connection between the
NETServer and the dialin user must have an IPX network
number assigned to it just like any cabled connection would.
Note that this number must be unique (not already used) on the
NETServer’s LAN and also must be unique to whatever net-
work the dialin user may be connected to.

set user <name> ipxnet <IPX network #>
