Document Objectives
This quick configuration guide describes the tasks you perform to solve common business problems
with dial networking technologies. It presents the most common dial access tasks in a format that
enables you to configure your access server quickly for the most common tasks. It does not describe
every feature, but describes those tasks that you most likely need to do to configure your access
server.
This guide begins with a case study followed by configuration scenarios. It also references detailed
configuration options described in the Cisco IOS configuration guides and command references so
that you can refer to these other documents for additional information.
Prerequisites
This guide assumes you understand the task for which your access server was purchased.
The configuration options indicated in this quick configuration guide are the recommended methods
for performing the specified tasks. Although they are typically the easiest or the most straightforward
method, they are not the only methods of configuring these tasks. If you know of another
configuration method not presented in this guide, you can use it.
