CHAPTER 12 CYROS, THE OPERATING SYSTEM

This chapter explains various operating system features that are not covered in other chapters:

•creation of the host table

•creation of user accounts and passwords

•IP Accounting

Creation of the host table

CyROS allows identification of hosts by name. In the menu CONFIG =>SYSTEM=>HOSTS, each host is assigned a number (1 to 32), and a host name (a maximum of 8 characters). The IP address to be associated with this host name and the port to be used for telnet is then requested. This host name can be used in aplications like ping and telnet, and in some other configuration menus.

Another way to identify hosts by name is to configure access to a DNS Server. This is done in the menu CONFIG =>IP =>DNS CLIENT. The domain name where the router is located and two DNS Server IP addresses are the only parameters.

Creation of user accounts and passwords

Four users are preset:

1super with the password surt,

2usr with no password,

3auto with no password, and

4pppauto with no password
