User Table

The User Table contains authentication and configuration information for two types of users: Login Users and Network Users. Note that you cannot have a Login User with the exact same name as a Network User.

Login Login users are remote users dialing in to request terminal service from an IP host. Once such a user is authenticated, he or she is connected to a host with a login service such as Telnet or Rlogin.

Network Network users are remote users dialing in to become a virtual node of the local network. Such a user may be an individual attaching to the network or an entire LAN dialing in to route packets onto the local net- work.

Keep in mind that entries in the user table will usually override the settings for the port the user is connected to.
