LAN-to-LAN Routing 6-17
Compression
If using SLIP, enable Van Jacobson IP header compression only if
both networks use CSLIP (compressed SLIP).
If compression is enabled for a PPP connection, the NETServer
will attempt to negotiate for compression, but will not use it if
the remote site does not support compression. Use the follow-
ing command:
set location <location name> compression <
on
|
off
>
Dial Group Number
Specifies which pool of modems will dial out to the remote
location. Range is 0 to 99. The NETServer will only use ports
that belong to this group to dial out to the remote location. The
default is 0. Use the following command:
set location <location name> group <group #>
Idle Time-out
Applies to Manual and On Demand locations only. This field
specifies how many minutes a dial out connection to this
location can remain idle (no packets being sent or received)
before the NETServer disconnects. The idle timer ignores RIP,
SAP and keepalive packets, allowing ports to time-out even
though these protocols are running. The default is 0 (disable
idle time-out). Use the following command:
set location <location name> idletime <2 to 240 minutes>
You must set the Idle Time-out field to something other than its
default (no time-out) for on-demand locations. If you don’t do
this, the initial connection will stay up permanently.
