Configuration Steps for Dial-In Access
17-4 PortMaster Configuration Guide
You can set the assigned pool numbers a little closer together as long as they do not
overlap; however, having the pools fall within bit boundaries makes packet filters easier
to write.
Note – This example uses a PortMaster 2E Communications Server. If you are using a
PortMaster 25, the numbers of assigned pools can be moved closer together.
Configuration Steps for Dial-In Access
To install your PortMaster, follow the instructions in your hardware installation guide. If
you need additional help, refer to the troubleshooting chapter of your installation guide.
The example in this chapter shows variables in
italics . Change these values to reflect
your network.
Once you have assigned an IP address to the first PortMaster, continue with the
following steps:
1. Connect modems to the PortMaster 2E (page 17-5).
2. Configure global settings (page 17-5).
3. Configure Ethernet interface settings (page 17-6).
4. Configure asynchronous port settings (page 17-6).
5. Configure modems for the asynchronous ports (page 17-6).
6. Configure users via RADIUS settings if you have more than one hundred
users (page 17-8).
7. Configure login users if you are not using RADIUS (page 17-9).
8. Configure network users if you are not using RADIUS (page 17-9).
9. Repeat Steps 1 through 8 for each additional PortMaster in your topology.
