The parameters for this command are described below:
IPAddr If set to an IP address, this specifies the remote host to
connect to. If set to
0.0.0.0
or
negotiated
, the
host and PortServer II negotiate the address to use; this
option is useful if the host address is unknown, for
example, if the host system uses an IP address pool.
IPMask The IP mask that is applied to the address specified in
IPAddr. If the mask is not
255.255.255.255
,
PortServer II assumes a router is present on the other
end of the connection, and the router can forward
packets to all other addresses on the network or subnet
specified.
LocalIPAdr Assigns an IP address to the local end of a point-to-point
link. If this is set to
0.0.0.0
, the IP address of
PortServer II’s Ethernet interface is used (“unnumbered
operation”), unless the remote host uses PPP to negotiate
a different address.
Device Contains the name of the device or device pool that
makes the connection.
Dialout Always set to
on
to enable outgoing connections.
NetRouting If set to
off
, routing protocol packets are not sent and
are ignored if received. If set to
send
, routing packets
are sent, but ignored if received. If set to
receive
,
routing packets are not sent, but are acted on if received.
If set to
both
, routing packets are both sent and acted
on.
Note: No routing packets are sent unless you also turn
forwarding on, by entering:
set forwarding state=active
Protocol Sets the protocol on the connection, and may be
PPP
,
SLIP
, or
FR
(Frame Relay).
