Security
The NETServer supports IP and IPX packet filtering in both the inbound and the outbound directions of ports, users, and dial out locations. Packet filter configuration is discussed in Chapter 8.
The NETServer also supports the use of a centralized RADIUS security server, allowing you to create a single account for each user rather than multiple user accounts on multiple NETServers. RADIUS security is discussed in Appendix F.
Administrative Utilities
The NETServer’s command line includes an assortment of utilities for troubleshooting connections including:
∙The ability to manually dial a location to test connectivity
∙The ability to use Telnet, Rlogin or PortMux to establish a session with another host from the NETServer’s command line.
∙
These commands are contained in Chapter 9, along with instructions for customizing the supervisor account.
