Configuring and Managing SLIP Ports
16-12
Establishing a SLIP Session
Enabling a SLIP Session from the PC
The following example shows how a nonprivileged user could configure and start
a SLIP session. The example assumes that the port characteristics are configured
as shown this example. The CHANGE PORT SLIP MTU command is optional.
Local> CHANGE PORT SLIP HOST 195.1.1.1 SLIP MTU 800
Local> CHANGE PORT SLIP MTU 800
Local> CONNECT SLIP
Local-561-Starting SLIP or PPP datalink session
If you previously configured the port with an Internet address and an MTU, then
you only need to use the CONNECT SLIP command.
After Making a Connection
Once you enter the CONNECT SLIP command, the access server expects IP
packets from the PC formatted as SLIP frames. Use the appropriate command to
exit from terminal emulation mode on your PC and start the desired IP
application program.
To transfer files, use any file transfer program that supports SLIP. You do not need
to configure data transparency on the access server.
