Tip To save the gateway configuration, save it to NVRAM. Refer to the “Saving Configuration Changes” section on page 57.

Note For comprehensive information about how to implement a Cisco AAA-based security environment, see the relevant documents at Cisco Product Documentation > Network Security > Cisco IOS Technology-Specific Security Features.

Configure Basic Dial Access

To commission a basic dial access service perform the following tasks:

Create two loopback interfaces.

Bring up the Fast Ethernet interface.

Add an IP route to the default gateway.

Step 1 Enter global configuration mode. You are in global configuration mode when your prompt changes to Gateway(config)#.

Gateway# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Gateway(config)#

Step 2 Assign the IP addresses as in the following example, and create an IP route to the default gateway:

Gateway(config)# interface loopback 0

Gateway(config-if)#

ip address 172.22.99.1 255.255.255.255

Gateway(config-if)#

exit

Gateway(config)# interface loopback 1

Gateway(config-if)#

ip address 172.22.90.1 255.255.255.0

Gateway(config-if)#

exit

Gateway(config)# interface FastEthernet 0/0

Gateway(config-if)#

ip address 172.28.186.55 255.255.255.240

Gateway(config-if)#

no shutdown

Gateway(config-if)#

exit

Gateway(config)# ip

route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.28.186.49

In this example:

Interface loopback 0—Identifies with a unique and stable IP address. One unique IP address from a common block of addresses is assigned to each device in the IP network. This technique makes security-filtering easy for the Network Operations Center (NOC). One class C subnet used for device identification can support 254 distinct devices with unique loopback addresses.

Interface loopback 1—Hosts a pool of IP addresses for the remote nodes. In this way, one route, instead of 254 routes, is summarized and propagated to the backbone. Pick the IP address for loopback 1 from the range of addresses that you will assign to the local address pool.

Step 3 Return to privileged EXEC mode:

Gateway(config)# Ctrl-Z

Gateway#
