5-2 Dial Solutions Quick Configuration Guide
Configuring Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Access
Figure 5-1 Remote Macintosh as a Node on the Local Network
In router-to-router configurations (such as between a remote and central office), the remote device
(PC or Macintosh computer) is not considered a node on the LAN that it is dialing in to. That is, the
remote computer is on a different LAN and has an IP address that is not chosen from those available
on the local network. These configurations are typically more complex and require use of the
dial-on-demand routing (DDR) facility in the Cisco IOS software. For more information, refer to the
chapter “Routing across Modem Lines” later in this guide.
Configuring Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Access
This section describes how to configure your access server to accept calls into IP and IPX networks
from clients (PCs) using PPP to access resources such as file servers and printers. It also describes
how to allow Macintosh or PC clients running a PPP application to dial in to an AppleTalk network.
Specifically, this section describes the following:
• Accessing IP Resources
• Configuring NetBIOS over TCP
• Enabling PPP Clients to Dial In and Access AppleTalk Resources
• Accessing IPX Resources
• Setting up Windows 95 on the Remote PC Side of the Connection
Accessing IP Resources
This section describes how to configure the access server to accept calls in to an IP network so that
clients (remote PC computers) can access IP resources, such as a Windows NT server. It describes
first the access server configuration, then presents some basic configuration information for the
dial-in client. Figure 5-2 shows a typical dial-in scenario.
