• For Remote Routers:
Although the system names and authentication passwords for the remote
routers are defined by the service provider, you must have this
information because the local router uses it to authenticate the remote
router. The name and password are used in both PAP and CHAP
authentication. To see how this information is used, see “PAP/CHAP
Security Authentication” on page 5-20.
NOTE:
If the service provider does not support the authentication of remote routers by the
local router, use the command remote disauthen <remoteName> to disable the
authentication process.
For an ATM router, its VPI and VCI numbers
ATM uses two connection identifiers that describe the PVC (Permanent Virtual
Circuit). These identifiers are the VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and the VCI (Virtual
Channel Identifier). Your router may have been preconfigured with VPI/VCI numbers.
If not, you need to get these numbers from your service provider.
If you are connecting to multiple remote sites, you need the unique VPI and VCI
numbers that identify each remote destination.
For a Frame Relay router, its DLCI number
The DLCI (Data Link Connection Identifier) number applies to Frame Relay routers
only. Get your DLCI from your service provider.
DNS Internet Account Information (optional)
The Domain Name Service (DNS) maps host names to IP addresses. DNS is
performed by Domain Name Servers. The router can get DNS information
automatically. Or, you can choose to configure DNS manually. Consult with your
Network Service Provider to determine if you need to enter the following information:
• DNS server address
• DNS second server address
• DNS domain name
IP Routing Addresses
• For the Ethernet interface:
Ethernet IP Address (Local LAN)
An Ethernet LAN IP address and subnet mask are required for the
router’s local Ethernet LAN connection. This information is defined by the
user or your network administrator.
