Getting Started with the Contivity Extranet Switch 2500
4-12
A host can send only enough packets to a Public interface to establish a tunnel
connection. If the tunnel is not established before the preset
maximum-number-of-packets-allowed counter is reached, then the packets
from that host are discarded.
Private
Indicates that this interface is attached to the Private network and it can accept
nontunneled networking protocols such as TCP/IP, FTP, HTTP, etc. The
Private interface also accepts tunneled protocols (e.g., IPsec, PPTP, L2TP, and
L2F) that can be used for secure management access to the Switch.
PPTP Users
User ID
Enter a User ID. The User ID works along with the password as the authentication
mechanism when attempting to access your local LAN through the Switch.
Password
Enter a user Password. You should use a minimum of eight characters, including
upper and lowercase letters and numbers. Avoid using common names and words
found in the dictionary. For example, a password constructed as “AxSessPw4U”
is much better than “dog” or “Barney.”
Confirm Password
Reenter the assigned password to verify that you have typed the intended
password correctly.
Remote User Static IP Address
Enter an IP Address to be assigned to this user when establishing a PPTP tunnel
session. Note that this IP Address is unnecessary if you assign user IP addresses
from either a DHCP server or an internal address pool.
NOTE:
Do not use a password of 16 pound signs (#).
