Configurable Table Overview
25
User Table
This table contains authentication and configuration information for five
types of users: Login, Network
,
Callback, Dial-out,
and
Manage.
User table entries override settings for the interface to which the user is
connected.
Local and Login Hosts
Tables
The Local Hosts Table contains a list of local hosts and associated Internet
Protocol (IP) addresses. It is used to translate names to IP addresses and
vice versa. This allows users and administrators to type host names rather
than addresses.
The
Hosts Table
is especially useful if your network does not have a name
service such as Domain Name Service (DNS). If your network has a name
server, the server first tries to match the host name with an IP address
using the Hosts Table before using the name server.
The
Login Host Table
contains hosts you configured using the
add
login_host
command.
Initialization Script
and Global Host
Tables
These tables contain generic modem initialization setup scripts that can
be sent to a modem each time the port is reset. (A modem resets itself
every time it disconnects.)
Initialization scripts for modems will probably contain the AT commands
needed to configure them for use on your network. This table contains
information accessed by the
list init_scripts
command.
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 network.
Callback
Callback users are remote users who dial into the device.
Once the user is authenticated, the RAS 1500 disconnects
and dials the user back, using a predefined or user-entered
telephone number.
Dial-out
Dial-out users are local or remote users who login then
connect to a remote host.
Manage
Manage users have administrator-level privileges on the
Console or a dial-up session.
