Reported IP Address AlternativesBACKGROUND: During IP Control Protocol (IPCP) negotiations for asynchronous ports, the Lucent PortMaster (TM) ComOS (TM) must report its source IP address. By default, PortMaster ComOS uses the IP address set on the ether0 as the source address for dial up and hardwired interfaces. These interfaces include Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), synchronous or asynchronous and Wide Area Network (WAN) interfaces that do not have a local IP address defined. ALTERNATIVE 1: You can modify the default behavior with the following command: Command> set report-ip <ip addr> If you have a large pool of PortMasters, the reported IP address can be set to the same address for all PortMasters. This is useful when there are many remote dial up routers dialing into a large hunt group of access servers. You can configure the same destination IP address and IP gateway for the default route on all remote routers no matter which PortMaster they connect to. This can also be useful for hardwired synchronous WAN Proxy applications where an address out of Private Address space (rfc1597) is used for an IP unnumbered link. ALTERNATIVE 2: An alternative to modifying the reported IP address, chassis by chassis, is to give each user a unique local IP address. Use the following command to modify a single user profile in RADIUS or the equivalent in ComOS: Command> set user <username> local-ip-address <ip addr>
