USRobotics NETServer/8, NETServer/16 manual Setting Up NETServer a, Add netuser nsb password xyzabc

This example will set up two NETServers for LAN-to-LAN routing. NETServer B will be configured to dial NETServer A on demand. In other words, when packets are waiting to be transferred, NETServer B will form a virtual connection to NETServer B. When the connection is no longer needed, it is terminated.

Setting Up NETServer A

NETServer A will use ports 7 and 8 to handle incoming routing from NETServer B. (Technically, these lines are unnecessary on a new NETServer since the factory default, login network dialin, will work just as well).

set s7 network dialin set s8 network dialin

Since NETServer B will be dialing in to form a network connec- tion, NETServer B is a network user. It will need an entry in NETServer A’s user table.

add netuser nsb password xyzabc

(For CHAP, “nsb” is NETServer B’s Sysname)

set user nsb address 192.88.203.1 set user nsb netmask 255.255.255.0 set user nsb ipxnet 2

The NETServers will exchange dynamic routing information (RIP packets) with each other.

set user nsb routing on
