Got some questions about how filters can be implemented in a PM2 and if the
PM can functionally do what I'm asking. Here goes...
---current---
We've got a PM2e about half full with modems. It is running the latest
ComOS. The current modems are being used to offer dial-up Internet/network
access to a limited number of people.
--- future idea----
We are in the process of implementing a new Student Information System and
some of the users in the remote places on campus are going to have to dial
in somewhere in order to gain access to the SIS. After connecting, the
users will communicate to the SIS over the network using TCP/IP. We will be
purchasing additional modems and setting up a different hunt group/phone
number for the new modems...
Questions:
- Can I setup a filter to only allow communications to a specific port and
IP address of the SIS and apply it to a specific modem port (the ports which
match up to the SIS dialup number), so that no matter what user logs in from
any of the modems, the only place they can talk to is the SIS.
- Can a filter be created and applied to a group of users, so that only the
users which the filter is applied to can continue to communicate via that
modem/port? The only thing anybody else could do is just tie up the modem,
all other packets would be automatically blocked. Is this a RADIUS issue?
I appreciate any comments/pointers you may have.
