Routing

Set the level of RIP messaging that the two devices will ex- change during the connection. Use the following command:

set user <user name> routing <broadcast listen on off>

broadcast Send dynamic routing information to the remote device. (but do not listen)

listen Listen for dynamic routes received from the remote device. (but do not broadcast)

on Do both of the above.

off Do not send dynamic routing information. Ignore dynamic routes received.

Compression

Van Jacobson TCP/IP header compression should be enabled for a SLIP connection only if both the local NETServer and the remote device are configured to use compressed SLIP (CSLIP). Both sides must agree on whether to use compression or the connection will fail.

Enabling compression on a PPP connection will cause the NETServer to negotiate for compression. Compression will be used only if the remote device supports it. Use the following command:

set netuser <user name> compression <on off>

Step 3 - Save your changes

Use the following command:

save user <user name>
