Managing Internet Addresses for SLIP Hosts

How a Port Automatically Obtains the SLIP Host Address

If you configure a port for SLIP communication and do not assign a host address, the access server does the following:

1Reads the source address from the attached host’s first output IP packet.

2Automatically assigns this address to the port if it is valid.

The access server clears this address when the SLIP host logs out from the port.
