Basic Configuration Tasks
Establishing WAN connectivity through Connection profiles
Defining the call session
The Session Options subprofile contains parameters that define aspects of the connection
applied on a session-by-session basis, including the following:
•
How filters are applied (the Data Filter, Call Filter, Filter Persistence, and IPX SAP Filter
parameters).
•
How session, terminal-server, and channel idle times are handled (the Idle, TS Idle,
TSIdleMode, and Preempt parameters).
•
The name of a backup Connection profile for a nailed connection when the far-end device
goes out of service (the Backup parameter).
•
How the MAX determines when and for how long it should block repeated unsuccessful
calls (the Block Calls After and Blocked Duration parameters).
•
The maximum duration of an incoming session (the Max Call Duration parameter).
IPX Options
•
IPX server or client bridging configuration (the Handle IPX
parameter).
•
The amount of time the MAX permits clients to remain logged
in to a NetWare server after their IPX connection has been torn
down (the Netware T/O parameter).
•
SAP Home Server Proxy characteristics (the SAP HS Proxy
and SAP HS Proxy Net#N parameters)
AppleTalk Options
When Route AppleTalk is set to Yes, this subprofile defines:
•
Whether the connection is a single-user PPP connection or a
router (the Peer parameter).
•
The AppleTalk zone name (the Zone Name parameter).
•
The zone range that defines the networks available for packets
routed to the static route (the Net Start and Net End
parameters).
OSPF Options
When Run OSPF is set to Yes, this subprofile defines:
•
The characteristics of the OSPF area to which the interface
belongs (the Area and AreaType parameters).
•
Timing of packets through the interface, and time to wait before
declaring routers down (the Hello Interval and Dead Interval
parameters).
•
Router priority in determining the designated router (the
Priority parameter).
•
Characteristics of link cost metric (the Cost and DownCost
parameters).
•
Authentication characteristics (the AuthType, AuthKey, Key
ID, and MD5Key parameters).
