USRobotics NETServer/16 Switch User Manual


 
10-18 Command Reference
Protocol
Default is SLIP. This field indicates what protocol the
NETServer should use to encapsulate packets bound for the
remote user.
set location <location name> protocol <
ppp
|
slip
>
Connections that forward IPX packets must use the PPP
protocol. If you enter an IPX network number for the location,
the NETServer will set this to PPP for you.
Routing
This field controls RIP messaging between the NETServer and
the remote site. Use the following command:
set location <location name> routing <
on
|
broadcast
|
listen
|
off
>
On The NETServer sends RIP information to the
remote site and accepts RIP information from the
remote site.
Broadcast The NETServer sends RIP information to the
remote site.
Listen The NETServer accepts RIP information from the
remote site.
Off The NETServer does not send RIP information to
the remote site and ignores RIP messages from the
remote site.
Compression
This indicates whether Van Jacobson TCP/IP header compres-
sion is enabled (on) or disabled (off). If you using SLIP with
compression enabled, the other end of the connection must also
be using compressed SLIP (CSLIP) or the connection will fail. If
you are using PPP with compression enabled, the NETServer
will attempt to negotiate for compression, but will still be able to
communicate with a remote location that is not using compres-
sion. The default is off.
set location <location name> compression <
on
