Netmask Table

CIDR (Classless Interdomain Routing) or host-based routing requires special netmasks. Special netmasks may also be useful for debugging.

The Netmask Table allows you to configure netmasks for CIDR or host-based routing as needed. RIP messaging/dynamic route information must be active for host-based routing.

IP Address Spoofing

The NETServer may now be configured to spoof a single IP address. When the NETServer identifies itself to remote routers or other remote devices, it uses this IP address rather than the IP address of its LAN interface.

IP address spoofing is useful when more than one NETServer must appear to be a single router or other device to remote networks and other routers.

Accounting Servers

The NETServer supports the following new features:

Log accounting information to a RADIUS accounting server such as the security feature of U.S. Robotics Total Control Manager.

ANI and DNIS call information

Log ICMP error messages to a UNIX Syslog server

Accounting Server Support

The NETServer now supports event logging. You can configure the NETServer to send event information to a Total Control Accounting Server or a UNIX accounting server. You can also configure the NETServer to send the event information to an alternate accounting server if the primary server is unavailable.

Event logging is performed by transmitting a record containing event information from the NETServer client to an accounting server. TCM uses the RADIUS client/server model for this feature.
