Serial Port Profiles
Configure the following parameters:
Local IP Address The IPv4 address of the IOLAN end of the SLIP link. For routing to work you
must enter an IP address in this field. Choose an address that is part of the same
network or subnetwork as the remote end; for example, if the remote end is
address 192.101.34.146, your local IP address can be 192.101.34.145. Do not
use the IOLAN’s (main) IP address in this field; if you do so, routing will not
take place correctly.
Remote IP Address The IPv4 address of the remote end of the SLIP link. Choose an address that is
part of the same network or subnetwork as the IOLAN. If your user is
authenticated by the IOLAN, this remote IP address will be overridden if you
have set a
Framed IP Address for the user. If your user is authenticated by
RADIUS and the RADIUS parameter
Framed-Address is set in the RADIUS
file, the IOLAN will use the value in the RADIUS file in preference to the
value configured here.
Subnet Mask The network subnet mask. For example, 255.255.0.0. If your user is
authenticated by RADIUS and the RADIUS parameter
Framed-Netmask is set
in the RADIUS file, the IOLAN will use the value in the RADIUS file in
preference to the value configured here.
MTU The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) parameter restricts the size of
individual SLIP packets being sent by the IOLAN. Enter a value between 256
and 1006 bytes; for example, 512. The default value is
256. If your user is
authenticated by the IOLAN, this MTU value will be overridden when you
have set a
Framed MTU value for the user. If your user is authenticated by
RADIUS and the RADIUS parameter
Framed-MTU is set in the RADIUS file,
the IOLAN will use the value in the RADIUS file in preference to the value
configured here.
Default: 256
Routing Determines the routing mode (RIP, Routing Information Protocol) used on the
SLIP interface as one of the following options:
z None—Disables RIP over the SLIP interface.
z Send—Sends RIP over the SLIP interface.
z Listen—Listens for RIP over the SLIP interface.
z Send and Listen—Sends RIP and listens for RIP over the SLIP interface.
This is the same function as the
Framed-Routing attribute for RADIUS
authenticated users.
Default: None
