ASYNC ROUTER AR-P, AR-5, AND SYNC ROUTER USER’S MANUAL

If authentication fails unexpectedly, go to the ACE server and run sdadmin. Choose the menu item Activity Report and look at the last two pages of the report for reasons why the login attempt has failed. This report can give you clues as to what corrections need to be made to allow the authentication method to be set to SecurID.

7. Verify that the desired modem port(s) on the Router are in client mode. From the Router, enter

dialup iface status

For example, dialup modem0 status.

On the resulting display, verify that the first word of the third line is “client.” Other values that might appear are “inactive,” “demand,” and “demand_backoff.” If it does not say “client,” run config to set this interface to a client, or enter the following command from the Router:

dialup iface client

config save

8. Make sure that the login prompt is enabled for dial-in users. From the Router, enter:

dialup iface logprompt on config save

9. Test the configuration. From the Router, enter:

authent test clientname

Starting from the beginning

If something goes wrong in the SecurID configuration, it may be necessary to start from the beginning:

1. Remove the sdconf.rec and sdstatus.net files from the Router boot diskette.

This can be done either by taking the Router boot diskette to a DOS machine, running Stacker, and then deleting the files in DOS, or by using ftp from a networked machine (using the “delete” command to remove these files).

2.Use ftp in binary mode (bin) to copy a new version of /var/ace/sdconf.rec from the ACE server to the Router’s \sdconf.rec.

3.On the ACE server, run sdadmin. Choose the item clients and then choose the item Re-initialize client. Enter the name of the Router when prompted.

4.On the Router, enter the command

authent method local

5. On the Router, now run config modify, and redo the SecurID configuration.

D.3 Cisco Router Interoperability

For Cisco routers to successfully interoperate with our Routers, configure the Cisco routers depending upon the method of connection (Ethernet, synchronous line, or dialup connection), and possibly use a customized dialer script for the Router. You should possess a general familiarity with Cisco routers and their command language.

Because of the complexity involved with Cisco routers, step-by-step instructions are not provided, so use this information as a guideline.

This section describes interoperability considerations for:

•Ethernet connections between Cisco routers and our Routers

•Synchronous lines between Cisco routers and our Routers

•Dialup connections between Cisco router and our Routers
