Configuring Hosts and Servers
remote The IP address or machine name of the remote endpoint of
the interface. This mandatory field must appear once.
mode The serial protocol to be used, for example, SLIP or PPP.
This mandatory field must appear once.
ports Specifies the set of physical ports to which this route can be
assigned. This field can have an associated port set (for
example, 5–8,12), rotary name (for example, rotary_1), or a
combination of rotary names and port sets (for example,
rotary_1,4–9). If the entry is a rotary name, you must also
enter this name in the rotary section of the configuration
file. This field must appear at least once (that is, you can
enter multiple ports fields).
The order in which the rotary name and port sets are entered
determines the order in which ports are selected when a port
must be chosen. The first port entry has the highest selection
level and the last entry has the lowest level. If a port
re-appears on another ports line, the selection level is
determined by the port’s initial appearance.
phone A string of up to 32 characters that defines the phone
number for the modem to dial.
chat This string of up to 32 characters defines the name of the
script that coordinates communications with the remote side
immediately after the phone connection is established. You
can enter multiple chat scripts on a single line separated by
commas or by using multiple chat lines; the chat scripts are
executed in the order in which they appear in the dialout
entry.
filter Defines a filter to apply to the dial-out route. You can enter
only one filter per line. The filters are executed in the order
in which they appear in the dialout entry. Using this field is
the only way you can add a dial-out filter; you cannot add
one via the CLI filter command. Moreover, you omit the
word add and the interface name from the filters you define
in the dialout entry.
