Configuring Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Access
Configuring the Asynchronous Interfaces
This section assumes you are configuring group asynchronous interfaces.
After you configure IPX network support and a loopback interface, you then configure the
asynchronous interfaces for PPP and assign the Novell IPX network number of the loopback
interface to the asynchronous interface. You can also enable interactive mode on the interfaces.
Step 1 Assign the IP address of the Ethernet interface to a single master or each asynchronous
interface:
2511(config-if)# ip unnumbered ethernet0
Step 2 Specify PPP encapsulation on asynchronous interfaces to which you need to allow PPP
connections:
2511(config-if)# encapsulation ppp
Step 3 Assign the Novell IPX network number of the loopback interface to the group
asynchronous interface.
2511(config-if)# ipx ppp-client loopback0
Step 4 (Optional) Filter SAP routing updates on asynchronous interfaces. SAP updates take up
a great deal of bandwidth, and asynchronous interfaces have low bandwidth.
2511(config-if)# ipx sap-interval 0
Step 5 Enable interactive mode. Interactive mode enables you to support services other than PPP
(such as EXEC sessions, SLIP, or ARA).
2511(config-if)# async mode interactive
IPX Client Addressing
The Cisco IOS software assumes that all PCs dialing in have their own unique IPX address and that
they send this address to the access server.
Configuring Other IPX Dial-in Parameters
For additional parameters that enable PPP dial-in to IPX networks, refer to Table 5-1.
Note At this point, IPX clients can dial in to your network. Ensure that you configure security, as
described in the chapter “Security Configuration” in this guide. The configuration examples at the
end of this chapter show IPX configuration examples with basic security.
Setting up Windows 95 on the Remote PC Side of the Connection
This section describes how to install and configure Windows 95 client software to dial in to and
access network resources through a Cisco access server.
If you need information about configuring the CiscoRemote client software, you can receive a
fax-back document from the Cisco Technical Assistance Center at 800 553-2447 or 408 526-7209
or call directly into the fax-on-demand service at 415 596-4408.
You can use virtually any other dial-in client applications to dial in to a network through access
servers.
