Configuring WAN Connections

Connection profiles

Pipeline User’s Guide Preliminary January 30, 1998 1-9

Route IP=Yes

Route IPX=No

Bridge=No

Note:

You must have routing or bridging globally enabled in the Ethernet >

Mod Config menu or in the Configure menu in order to route or bridge in a

Connection profile.

Set the Recv Auth parameter to PAP, CHAP, or Either. An incoming call

must then match a Connection profile in order to be accepted. If the

parameter is set to Either, any authentication scheme supported by both hosts

can be used, including MS-CHAP. If Recv Auth is set to None, incoming

MP+ or PPP calls are not required to provide a password. (For further

discussion of PAP, CHAP, and MS-CHAP, see the Chapter 7, “Setting Up

Pipeline Security.”)

Set the bandwidth parameters as appropriate.

The bandwidth settings in the Answer profile apply to incoming calls for

which no Connection profile exists. If a Connection profile exists, its settings

take precedence. (For a discussion of bandwidth settings, see “Example

MP+ configuration” on page 1-19.)

Close and save the Answer profile.

Connection profiles

Connection profiles contain parameters that define individual connections. To set

up a basic Connection profile, do the following:

Open Ethernet > Connection > any profile.

For example:

20-101 Corporate-gateway

>Station=Corporate-gateway

Active=Yes

Encaps=MPP

Dial #=nnnnnnnnnn

Calling #=

Called #=

Route IP=Yes

Route IPX=N/A

Bridge=N/A
