SYSTEM ONEWANDIALUP
This command is useful when security concerns dictate than the router have only one connection active at a time.
For example, the command can prevent from connecting to the Internet and to another location such as your
company at the same time. The command system oneWANdialup on forces the router to have no more than one
connection to a remote entry active at one time. (Multiple links to the same remote are allowed.)
A connection is only generated when data is forwarded to the remote router (dial-on-demand); Permanent links
cannot be automatically generated.
At system startup time, the router examines each remote entry. If if finds one remote enabled, it leaves the remote
enabled. If it finds more than one remote entry enabled, then it disables every entry that does not have a protocol
of PPP or PPPLLC. It sets the minimum number of active links (remote minLink) to 0 (zero) on the enabled
entries; if the command did not perform this function, connections to multiple destinations would not be possible
(since the link to the destination with minLink=non-zero would be active).
The command allows multiple connections to the SAME location and supports PPP Mult-link protocol.
This system oneWANdialup command complements the system command that controls WAN-to-WAN
forwarding. That command allows multiple connections to different locations to be active at the same time but
stops traffic from passing from one WAN connection to another.
SYSTEM PASSWD
Sets the system authentication password for the target router that is used when the router connects to other routers
or is challenged by them. This password is a default password used for all remote sites unless a unique password
is explicitly defined for connecting to a remote router with the remote setOurPasswd command.
SYSTEM SECURITYTIMER
Automatically logs out a Telnet or console user out of privileged mode when no typing has occurred for 10
minutes. This command allows the user to change the 10-minute default to a different value.
system oneWANdialup on|off
on Enables only one active connection at a time to a remote entry.
off Disables system oneWANdialup.
Example:
system oneWANdialup on
system passwd <password>
password Authentication password of the target router.
Note: The password is case-sensitive and should be no more than 40 characters.
Example:
system passwd chwgn1
system securityTimer <minutes>
