Adding the Remote Device to the User Table

Adding a user table entry is required if the remote device will be
dialing into the NETServer.

It is only required for dial out connections if you want to use
CHAP authentication on a PPP connection.

Step 1 - Create a User Table Entry

Type in a user name and password:

add netuser <user name> password <password>

Note:

If you plan to use CHAP authentication, the password

defined here is the CHAP shared secret. The shared secret must
be the same on both devices. The User Name you enter here
must be the system ID that the remote device will send during a
CHAP challenge (Another NETServer will send its Sysname).

Step 2 - Tell the NETServer about the Remote Device

You must set the following parameters.

IP Address

This is the IP address that the remote device uses for the dura-
tion of the connection. Use the following command:

set user <user name> address <IP address>

IPX Network

Use the following command to assign an IPX network number
to the connection between the NETServer and the remote
device:

set user <user name> ipxnet <IPX network #>

Note that this number cannot already be used on any network
attached to the NETServer or any network attached to the
remote device.
