Network Dial In Access 5-1

Configuring an AppleTalk User

Unlike IP and IPX, AppleTalk dynamically assigns a station

address for the remote computer. An AppleTalk dial-in

connection is treated as an extension of the local LAN. The

NETServer negotiates a station address on the dial-in user's

behalf (AppleTalk station numbers are dynamic) and provides a

proxy-AARP service on the LAN.

Note: RADIUS does not support AppleTalk user authentication.

You must configure an AppleTalk user locally.

Step 1 - Add the User

Create a standard network user, specifying the user's password,

type, and default network service. Use the following command:

add user

<name>

password

type

[network | login | callback]

network_service arap

Password

Unique user password.

Type

A network user type can be one of the following:

• network

• network,login

• network,callback

• network,login,callback

Network Service

AppleTalk users use ARAP as their remote access protocol.
