LCS60 Configuration and Connection for SLIP Service

-u

Identifies the user (either user name or numeric ID) for whom

 

the IP address is requested. This is not required when a NAC is

 

used.

154.12.23.10Specifies a privately administered IP address in dotted IP address format. If this option is included on the dialstring, the SLIP server will assign this address only if the address is:

Within the IP address range assigned to the LCS60, and

Not reserved for any user, and

Not currently in use.

If this option is not included on the dialstring, then the server assigns either a dynamic or a reserved IP address to the connec- tion.

Note: When a SLIP host is dialed (e.g., mlkway/earth/morse.slip), the LCS60 attaches the incoming call to the SLIP server. When the SLIP server is ready to exchange IP datagrams, the server writes "SLIP ipaddr=A.B.C.D" to the peer.

SLIP

Privately Administered IP Address

In this case, the user's IP address is locally administered by the user on his/her PC software package. When calling into the LCS60 SLIP service, this requested IP address is presented as part of the data switch dialstring. 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 dynamically 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).
