For example to escape the ASCII null character, the command would be

set s0 map 00000001

The default is 00000000 (do not escape any characters). We recommend that you do not change this field unless specifically required by your network.

Protocol

This field indicates what protocol the NETServer should use to encapsulate packets going across the hardwired serial connec- tion. The default is SLIP Use the following command:

set s0 protocol <ppp slip>

WARNING: We strongly discourage using SLIP for a dedicated Hardwired connection. SLIP has no security. This means that any user (legitimate or not) who gains access to your network may send an receive any packet once the connection is established.

Routing

This determines whether the port exchanges RIP messages (route information) across the serial connection. The default is Listen. Use the following command:

set s0 routing <option>

Valid options are:

On

The NETServer sends RIP information across the

 

serial connection as well as listening for dynamic

 

routes received.

Broadcast

The NETServer sends RIP information across the

 

serial connection, but does not listen for dynamic

 

routes received.

Listen

The NETServer accepts RIP information from the

 

serial connection, but does not send dynamic routes

 

to that port.

Off

The NETServer does not exchange RIP information

 

across the serial connection.
