REMOTE SETMGMTIPADDR
This command assigns to the remote router entry an IP address which is to be used for management purposes only
and not for IP address translation. This management IP address is generally a private network address used solely
by the ISP.
The management IP address is separate from the IP address used for IP address translation. The IP address used
for address translation is generally a public IP address valid on the Internet. It is set by the remote setSrcIpAddr
command (page 286).
Note: The management address is not effective until after the next save and remote restart or reboot.
Note: To use the management address as the source address for a ping, you must specify it using the -I option on
the ping command (page 194). For example, to use management address 192.168.1.2 when pinging destination
address 192.168.100.100, specify:
ping -I 192.168.1.2 192.168.100.100
Note: To use the management address as the source address for a copy, you must specify both the source and
destination addresses on the copy command (page 200).
To list the current management address for the remote router, if any, use the remote list command (page 271). To
set a management address for an Ethernet interface, see eth ip mgmt (page 241).
ipaddr IP address (4 decimals separated by periods).
mask IP subnet mask (4 decimals separated by periods).
remoteName Name of the remote router (character string).
Example:
remote setMgmtIpAddr 10.0.0.3 255.255.255.0 internet
REMOTE SETMINLINE
This command is used for dial-up connections and other connections that behave like dial-up connections, such as
L2TP and PPPoE sessions. The command sets the minimum number of channels to be continually allocated to the
connection. The default is 0, in which case a channel is allocated only when needed.
For example, if your service provider charges by the hour, you might prefer the minlines default value (0) so that
a channel is allocated only when needed. However, if you are not charged by the hour, then having a channel
allocated continually would save you the 2-3 second wait time required for each channel re-allocation.
minlines Minimum number of channels to be continually allocated for the connection (0, 1, or 2). If you
specify 0, a channel is allocated for the connection only when needed. The default is 0.
remoteName Name of the remote router (character string).
Examples:
remote setMgmtIpAddr <ipaddr> <mask> <remoteName>
remote setMinLine <minlines> <remoteName>
