Using Dial-Up Networking with a

PPPSerial Port Console

Configuring the IP Interface for the PPP Console

To use TCP/IP applications (Telnet, HTTP, and SNMP) over your PPP serial port interface:

1.From My Computer, double-click Dial-Up Networking. The Dial-Up Networking program group opens.

2.Double-click on the PPP modem previously created. The Connect To dialog box opens.

3.Enter your password and click Connect. A Pre-Dial Terminal Screen opens.

When the modem has successfully connected, a Post-Dial Terminal Screen opens.

4.In the Post-Dial Terminal screen, login using your CLI user name and password. It may be necessary to enter several carriage returns to view the Login prompt.

5.At the CLI prompt, go to configuration mode and enter set console transfer PPP. ASCII characters display below the CLI prompt. This is typical while the switch attempts to connect via PPP.

6.In the Post-Dial Terminal screen, click Continue (F7). PPP verification completes and the Connected To dialog box displays a message that the modem connection has been successfully established.

To configure the PPP console with an IP address and mask:

1.Configure your console serial port as a PPP Console. See “Connecting a Modem”, earlier in this chapter.

2.Connect your modem cable to the Cajun’s serial port.

3.From the IP Configuration section of the Web Agent, click Interfaces. The IP Interfaces dialog box opens.

4.Click CREATE. The Add IP Interface dialog box opens.

5.From the VLAN pull-down menu, select Serial-Console. This specifies the interface for the PPP console.

6.In the Network Address field, enter the IP address to be associated with the PPP console port.

*Note: If you do not enter a name for this interface, the IP address is used as the interface name.
