Setting Administrative Logins to Serial Ports
When you log in using !root , administrative logins to the serial ports are enabled by
default. You can disable or enable them by using the following command
:
Command> set serial-admin on | off
If administrative login is disabled, you can still use port S0 (or C0) by setting the console
DIP switch (first from the left, also known as DIP 1) to the up position.
Configuring an IP Address Pool
You can dynamically assign IP addresses to PPP or SLIP dial-in users. By assigning
addresses as needed from a pool, the PortMaster requires fewer addresses than if each
user is assigned a specific address. When a dial-in connection is closed, the address goes
back into the pool and can be reused.
When creating an address pool, you explicitly identify the first address in the sequence
of addresses available for temporary assignment. The PortMaster allocates one address in
the pool of addresses for each port configured for network dial-in.
To set the value of the first IP address to assign for dial-in ports, use the following
command:
Command> set assigned_address Ipaddress
warning 4 Warning messages
notice 5 Normal but significant messages
