Configuring IP Routing
Configuring WAN interfaces
Configuring an IP Direct connection
You can configure a Connection profile to automatically redirect incoming IP packets to a
specified host on the local IP network without having the packets pass through the routing
engine on the MAX, as shown in Figure 9-11.
Figure 9-11. Directing incoming IP packets to one local host
To configure an IP Direct connection:
1 Open the Answer profile’s PPP Options subprofile and set the Route IP parameter to
enable IP routing:
Ethernet
Answer
PPP options…
Route IP=Yes
2 Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
3 Open a Connection profile for the dial-in connection.
4 Set the Station parameter to specify the user’s name, set the Active parameter to activate
the profile, and specify the desired encapsulation options. For example:
Ethernet
Connections
Connection profile 1
Station=Pipeline1
Active=Yes
Encaps=MPP
Encaps options...
Send Auth=CHAP
Recv PW=localpw
Send PW=remotepw
5 Set the Route IP parameter to enable IP routing, set the LAN Adrs parameter to specify the
IP address of the host to receive the redirected packets, and turn off RIP:
Route IP=Yes
IP options…
LAN Adrs=10.8.9.10/22
RIP=Off
Note: IP Direct connections typically turn off RIP. If the connection is configured to receive
RIP, all RIP packets from the far side are kept locally and forwarded to the IP address you
specify for IP Direct.
