Serial Port Profiles

Remote Access (SLIP) Profile

Overview

The Remote Access (SLIP) profile configures a serial port to allow a remote user to establish a SLIP connection to the IOLAN’s serial port. This is typically used with a modem for dial-in or dial-out access to the network.

General Tab Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

Local IP Address The IPv4 address of the IOLAN end of the SLIP link. For routing to work you must enter an IP address in this field. Choose an address that is part of the same network or subnetwork as the remote end; for example, if the remote end is address 192.101.34.146, your local IP address can be 192.101.34.145. Do not use the IOLAN’s (main) IP address in this field; if you do so, routing will not take place correctly.

Remote IP Address The IPv4 address of the remote end of the SLIP link. Choose an address that is part of the same network or subnetwork as the IOLAN. If your user is authenticated by the IOLAN, this remote IP address will be overridden if you have set a Framed IP Address for the user. If your user is authenticated by RADIUS and the RADIUS parameter Framed-Addressis set in the RADIUS file, the IOLAN will use the value in the RADIUS file in preference to the value configured here.

Subnet Mask The network subnet mask. For example, 255.255.0.0. If your user is authenticated by RADIUS and the RADIUS parameter Framed-Netmaskis set in the RADIUS file, the IOLAN will use the value in the RADIUS file in preference to the value configured here.
