Step 3 - Add configuration information for the user

You must set the following parameters. All other parameters are optional.

IP Address

This is the dial in user’s IP address for the duration of the connection. This address can be selected in three different ways.

Assigned The user is dynamically assigned an address from a pre-defined pool of IP addresses. This requires that an Assigned Address pool be defined (See Global Configuration in Chapter 10).

Negotiated PPP connections only. The NETServer tries to learn the remote computer’s IP address using IPCP address negotiation.

IP address The user has a fixed IP address, which is specified here.

Use the following command:

set user <name> destination <address>

The address can be assigned, negotiated or an actual IP address. The last line in the example below is a specified address.

set user User1 destination assigned set user User2 destination negotiated set user User3 destination 192.77.24.127

IPX Network

If the dial in user wants to talk IPX, the connection between the NETServer and the dialin user must have an IPX network number assigned to it just like any cabled connection would. Note that this number must be unique (not already used) on the NETServer’s LAN and also must be unique to whatever net- work the dialin user may be connected to.

set user <name> ipxnet <IPX network #>
