Adding/Editing Users

TCP Port

When the User Service is Telnet, TCP Clear, or SSH, this is the target port

 

number. The default value will change based on the type of Service selected;

 

the most common known port numbers are used as the default values.

IPv4 Address Used for User Service PPP or SLIP, sets the IP address of the remote user.

Enter the address in dot decimal notation as follows:

zn.n.n.n—(where n is a number) Enter the IP address of your choice. This IP address will then be used in preference to the Remote IP Address set for a line.

The following IP addresses have a special meaning:

z255.255.255.254—The IOLAN will use the Remote IP Address set in the

PPP settings for the serial port that this user is connecting to.

z255.255.255.255—When the User Service is PPP, the IOLAN will allow the remote machine to specify its IP address (overriding the IP address negotiation value configured in the PPP settings).

z255.255.255.255—When the User Service is SLIP, the IOLAN will use the Remote IP Address set for the line (no negotiation).

Default: 255.255.255.254

IPv4 Subnet Mask

If the remote user is on a subnet, enter the network’s subnet mask. For

 

example, a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.

IPv6 Interface

Used for User Service PPP, sets the IPv6 address of the remote user. Enter the

Indentifier

address in IPv6 format.

 

Field Format: The first 64 bits of the Interface Identifier must be zero,

 

therefore, ::abcd:abcd:abcd:abcd is the expected format.

MTU

Used for User Service PPP or SLIP, specifies the maximum size of packets, in

 

bytes, being transferred across the link. On noisy links it might be preferable to

 

fragment large packets being transferred over the link, since there will a be

 

quicker recovery from errors.

 

Data Options:

 

z PPPMTUwill be the maximum size of packets that the IOLAN will

 

negotiate for this port. This value is negotiated between the two ends of

 

the link.

 

z SLIPMTUwill be the maximum size of packets being sent by the

 

IOLAN.

 

The User MTU value will override the MTU/MRU values set for a Serial Port.

 

Range: PPP: 64-1500 bytes, SLIP: 256-1006 bytes

 

Default: PPP is 1500 bytes, SLIP is 256 bytes

Routing

Determines the routing mode used for RIP packets on the PPP and SLIP

 

interfaces. Values are:

 

z None—RIP packets are neither received nor sent by the IOLAN.

 

z Send—RIP packets can only be sent by the IOLAN.

 

z Listen—RIP packets can only be received by the IOLAN.

 

z Send and Listen—RIP packets are sent and received by the IOLAN.

 

Default: None
