Nortel Networks 1500 manual Pptp Users, Public, Private, User ID, Password

Getting Started with the Contivity Extranet Switch 1500 Series

Public

Indicates that this interface is attached to a Public data network like the Internet. On a Public interface, the Switch rejects non-tunneled protocols and accepts only tunneled protocols, such as IPsec, PPTP, L2TP, L2F and the diagnostic protocol PING.

A host can send only enough packets to a Public interface to establish a tunnel connection. If the tunnel is not established before the preset maximum-number-of packets-allowed counter is reached, then the Switch discards the packets from that host.

Private

Indicates that this interface is attached to the Private network and that it can accept non-tunneled networking protocols such as TCP/IP, FTP, and HTTP. The Private interface also accepts tunneled protocols (such as IPsec, PPTP, L2TP, and L2F) that can be used for secure management access to the Switch.

PPTP Users

User ID

Enter a User ID. The User ID works along with the password as the authentication mechanism when attempting to access your local LAN through the Switch.

Password

Enter a user Password. You should use a minimum of eight characters, including upper and lowercase letters and numbers. Avoid using common names and words found in the dictionary. For example, a password constructed as “AxSessPw4U” is much better than “dog” or “Barney.”

Note: Do not use a password of 16 pound signs (#).
