Getting Started with the Contivity Extranet Switch 4500
4-12
Type
Public
Indicates that this interface is attached to a Public data network like the
Internet. On a Public interface, the Switch rejects nontunneled protocols and
only accepts tunneled protocols like IPsec, PPTP, L2TP, and L2F, and the
diagnostic protocol PING.
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.”
NOTE:
Do not use a password of 16 pound signs (#).
