TERMINAL SERVERS
4.11 Configuring SLIP Ports
The Terminal Server can be used to connect SLIP devices to an IP network.
The SLIP (Serial Link Internet Protocol) protocol is a simple implementation
of the IP protocol over Asynchronous links. The SLIP device can be a PC,
workstation, router, or any other device connected through a serial port to
the Terminal Server.
Any SLIP device must be assigned a unique IP address which must be
part of the same subnet to which the Terminal Server is connected.
The following example shows a sample configuration of a port which will
be used for a SLIP connection.
1 Local> DEFINE PORT 2 AUTOBAUD DISABLED SPEED 19200
2 Local> DEFINE PORT 2 DEDICATED SLIP
3 Local> DEFINE PORT 2 SLIP ENABLED
4 Local> DEFINE PORT 2 FLOW DISABLED
5 Local> DEFINE PORT 2 SLIP HOST 111.122.133.144
6 Local> DEFINE PORT 2 USERNAME “SLIP 2”
Figure 4-20. Configuring a Port for a SLIP Connection.
Step 1: Define the Port Characteristics
Command 1 defines a fixed speed (of 19200 baud) unlike for directly-
attached terminals.
Step 2: Define port as Dedicated SLIP and Enable it
Statement 2 specifies that the port will be attached automatically as a SLIP
host when the user logs on to the Terminal Server. DEDICATED prevents
the user from using the port as a terminal port and negates the need for any
character-mode communication—except the user name and password (if
needed). This simplifies the script required to connect the SLIP device to
the Terminal Server.
Statement 3 enables the port to work in SLIP mode. To enter SLIP mode,
the user issues a “CONNECT SLIP” command or uses the Dedicate definition
as in statement 2. After starting the SLIP mode, the Terminal Server will
expect only SLIP frames from the attached device.
