use, you may use the emergency Telnet server to clean up “dead” Telnet sessions. This
Telnet server needs a unique port number.
CONFIGURING TEMPLATE CONNECTIONS INFORMATION
This section shows you how to configure connections information for the site template.
Connections information dictates how the site’s systems will handle connections. Later, when
connection groups are configured (refer to Configuring Connection Groups), the SFVRA-CFG
incorporates site template connection information into the connection group configuration.
Connection information is divided into the following categories:
• Authentication
• Restrictions
•Access
• Protocols
CONFIGURING AUTHENTICATION INFORMATION
Authentication information is divided into two sections: authentication information for systems
doing authentication through (a) local user tables and through (b) SFVRA databases.
For systems using local authentication, you may enable or disable PPP Outbound Authentication.
When PPP outbound authentication is enabled, PPP (CHAP or PAP) authentication is required at
both ends of the connection. When PPP outbound authentication is disabled, the remote device that
the Cabletron system is calling out to is not required to authenticate itself, but the remote device
will authenticate the Cabletron system. In the above example, PPP outbound authentication is
enabled.
