LAN-to-LAN Routing Overview
The concept of NETServer users is not limited to end users who
connect to the NETServer from a terminal or PC. You can also
configure users that represent remote routing devices. The
remote routing device and the NETServer work together to
create a LAN-to-LAN routing link over analog lines, or with the
NETServer I-modem, over ISDN or analog lines.
A remote routing device is defined as a network/dialout user in
the NETServer system. Therefore, configuring a LAN-to-LAN
routing connection is very similar to configuring a network user,
with some additional dial-out and routing parameters such as:
• How the connection is established: on-demand, timed,
continuous, manual
• How dynamic routing protocol packets (RIP, SAP, RTMP,
etc.) are handled
• What dialout scripts are used to connect to the remote
location
• How bandwidth can be increased or decreased
automatically
Connection Establishment
You can establish remote LAN connections in the following
ways:
On-Demand - An on-demand connection is established when a
user attempts to access an address that is located at a remote
site. The connection is automatically closed once data transfer
to the remote location is complete
Timed - A timed connection is established and closed at a
particular time of the day
Continuous - A continuous connection is always open, as long as
the NETServer is on line
Manual - A manual connection is initiated by the system
administrator using a dial command
