LCS60 Configuration and Connection for PPP Service

-uIdentifies the user (either user name or numeric ID) for whom the IP address is requested. This is not required when a NAC is used.

-CWhen connecting using IPX, the -Coption is used to specify whether CIPX header compression* is to be used. -Con(default) specifies that header compression will be used; -Coffspecifies it will not.

Privately Administered Static IP Address

In this case, the user's IP address is locally administered by the user on his/her client software package. For PPP users, this IP address is embedded in their IPCP configuration request packet. The LCS60 grants the user's request for the proposed IP address if the IP address is:

A valid IP address allocated from within the IP network range associated with the IP network security group name that he/she has called. The IP network security group name matches the local address component of the LCS60's data switch dialstring mnemonic address.

Not already in use by another user. The LCS60 may have already assigned the requested IP address to another IP session.

Not a match to any reserved IP address that has been allocated by the LCS60 administrator (except for a reserved IP address set aside for that user's user id).

To obtain a specific (static) address that has not been reserved for the client, set your IP address on the PPP client package. This IP address will be negotiated with the LCS60. If that address is available, your session will acquire that IP address. If the requested IP address is reserved or busy, then the connection will not be successful.
