Configuring Dial-In Users 7-3
User Types
Note – To add a network user, you must use the netuser keyword. Thereafter, you can
use either the netuser or the user keyword to configure settings for the network user.
You must always use the user keyword when configuring login users.
Deleting Users from the User Table
To delete a user from the user table, use the following command:
Command> delete user Username
User Types
User settings define the nature and behavior of dial-in users. The user table contains
entries for each defined dial-in user along with the characteristics for the user.
The user table provides login security for users to establish login sessions or network
dial-in connections. If you want to allow a network dial-in connection from another
router, the router must have an entry in the user table or in RADIUS.
PortMaster products allow you to configure two types of users, network users and login
users.
Network Users
Network users dial in to an asynchronous serial, synchronous serial, or ISDN port on the
PortMaster. A connection is established as soon as the user logs in. A PPP or SLIP (on
asynchronous ports) session is started. This type of connection can be used for dial-in
users or for other routers that need to access and transfer data from the network. Define
this type of user when network packets must be sent through the connection.
Login Users
Login users are allowed to establish PortMaster ( in.pmd ), rlogin, Telnet, or netdata
(TCP clear) connections through an asynchronous serial or ISDN port. A connection is
established to the specified host as soon as the user logs in. This type of connection is
useful for users who need to access an account on a host running TCP/IP.
