4-36 MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide
Configuring Individual WAN Connections
The Connection profile
Frame Relay parameters
The following Connections > Session Options parameters define whether the MAX unit
redirects incoming packets to the Frame Relay switch without processing, the name of the
Frame Relay profile, and the Frame Relay DLCI number to be used for FR Direct connections:
Framed Only
The Ethernet > Connections > Connection profile > Framed Only parameter specifies whether
or not the user is allowed access to all the terminal-server commands or to only a subset of
them. The default setting of No specifies that terminal-server users connecting through this
profile have unlimited access to the terminal-server commands. Yes specifies that terminal-
server users connecting through this profile have access only to the PPP , SLIP, CSLIP, and Quit
terminal-server commands.
IPX SAP Filter A SAP filter to the LAN or WAN interface. You can apply an IPX SAP
filter to exclude or include certain remote services from the MAX SAP
table. If you apply a SAP filter in a Connection profile, you can
exclude or include services in both directions.
BackUp Name of a backup Connection profile for a nailed connection. The
profile is intended as a backup if the far-end device goes out of
service, in which case the backup call is made. It is not intended to
provide alternative lines for getting to a single destination.
IP Direct IP address of a local host to which all inbound IP packets on this link
will be directed. When you specify an address for this parameter, the
MAX unit bypasses all internal routing and bridging tables and sends
each packet received from the remote end of the connection to the
specified address. This setting does not affect outbound traffic. Note
that the IP direct host must be on the same local network as the unit.
Parameter Specifies
Parameter Specifies
FR Direct Whether or not the MAX unit redirects incoming packets to the Frame
Relay switch without processing. A FR Direct connection is a dial-in
IP routing connection (typically using PPP), for which the unit simply
forwards the packets automatically to the Frame Relay switch without
examining destination addresses or its routing table. In effect, the unit
passes on the responsibility of routing those packets to a later hop on
the Frame Relay network. This is known as FR Direct mode, and is not
commonly used.
FR Prof Name of the Frame Relay profile to use for forwarding this lin k on the
Frame Relay network.
FR DLCI Frame Relay DLCI number to be used for FR Direct connections.
