Chapter 6. Basic Configuration

No.

The No. field determines the order of the lines. The order is important in deciding what is logged and warned for. The Telecommuting Module uses the first line that matches the configuration traffic.

Perhaps you want to configure the Telecommuting Module so that configuration traffic from one specific computer is simply logged while traffic from the rest of that computer’s network is both logged and generates alarms.

The rules are used in the order in which they are listed, so if the network is listed first, all configuration traffic from that network is both logged and generates alarms, including the traffic from that individual computer. But if the individual computer is listed on a separate line before the network, that line will be considered first and all configuration traffic from that computer is only logged while the traffic from the rest of the computer’s network is both logged and generates alarms.

Servers and clients com- municate via UDP.

3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module uses RADIUS for authentication for Telecommuting Module administration, for SIP users, and VPN connections from road warriors. If RADIUS
