Configuring Dial-ins Using cycli
• Enter the ifconfig or ipconfig command on the command line of
the user’s workstation to discover the IP address assigned to the
OnBoard’s end of the PPTP link.
• Enter the OnBoard’s PPTP-assigned address either in a browser or with
ssh on the command line to access the OnBoard.
• Create a static route to inform the workstation that the devices to be
contacted are at the other end of the point-to-point link at the OnBoard’s
PPTP-assigned address.
• If multiple private subnets have been configured without a virtual network
(DNAT), then create a route for each subnet.
• Access the device and enable native IP access.
Caution! Remind users to always disable native IP before closing the PPTP
VPN connection to prevent other users from potentially being able to obtain
unauthorized and unauthenticated access to native IP features of the device.
