LAN-to-LAN Routing 7-

Dynamic Routing Settings

When the NETServer establishes a remote connection to an

ordinary user (i.e., a user endstation) it is usually not necessary

to send periodic router updates such as RIP, SAP, and RTMP

messages. However, during a LAN-to-LAN connection, when

the NETServer's remote connection is to a routing device, these

messages may be needed. The NETServer can be configured to

send and receive these messages on a per "user" (router) basis

for IP, IPX, and AppleTalk protocols.

Dialout Scripts

All dial-out users can have a number of dial-out scripts defined

in the user profile. The script can consist of up to six

send/receive pairs. The script can contain all of the AT

commands and other login commands needed to access the

remote location.

Bandwidth-On-Demand

You can configure the NETServer to provide additional

bandwidth automatically depending on the amount of traffic to

be delivered. The Bandwidth-On-Demand (BOND) capability is

provided using multi-link PPP.

IP Routing

To perform IP routing, you should know the following:

• The IP address to be used for the point-to-point routing link.

Both a local and remote address are specified for the

configured user. You can use an un-numbered interface or a

numbered interface:

• un-numbered interface - defaults to the address of the unit

itself. The advantage is that you save addresses

• numbered interface - the traditional specification of an

address for each end of the link
