Audience
Audience
This guide is intended primarily for the following audiences:
• System administrators who are familiar with the fundamentals of router-based internetworking
and who are responsible for installing and configuring internetworking equipment, but who
might not be familiar with the specifics of Cisco products or the routing protocols supported by
Cisco products.
• Customers who support dial-in users, but who have little experience with router-based networks.
• Customers who know one networking protocol (such as Novell IPX) and one LAN protocol (such
as Ethernet), but have no additional networking background or experience.
Document Organization
This guide has two parts:
• Part 1, “Dial Case Study”—This part describes how to build a network that provides a dial-up
environment using one Cisco AS5300. The access server supports remote users and remote
LANs connecting with modems and ISDN routers. Only IP networking and basic security are
described.This case study gives you a basic foundation from which you can scale to support
larger dial implementations.
— Chapter 1, “Dial Case Study Overview”
— Chapter 2, “Cisco AS5300 Configuration”
— Chapter 3, “Cisco 1604 Configuration”
— Chapter 4, “Cisco 766 Configuration”
• Part 2, “Expanded Dial-Up Configurations”—This part provides comprehensive sample
configurations for mixed protocol scenarios (IP, IPX, and AppleTalk). It also describes how to
route over modem lines and set up security. Refer to the Dial Solutions Configuration Guide for
more information.
