DIALIN IPX USER OVER PPP UPDATED: August 27, 1999 SUMMARY: In order for a user to dialin to a PortMaster (TM) , the user needs to have a PPP user profile (on the PortMaster or in RADIUS TM)) with a UNIQUE IPX network number. Also the MTU setting must be to 1500. The IPX network number is an 8 digit hex number. BEFORE YOU START: In order to do IPX assigned addressing for dialin IPX netusers, you must first assign a pooled IP address to your PortMaster: Command> set assigned [starting ip address for assigned address pool] The netusers IPX network number entry must be FFFFFFFE, which is a signal to the PortMaster that the netuser will be utilizing assigned/pooled addressing. The PortMaster converts the assigned IP address to the hex and uses that hex number as the IPX network number. ADDING AN IPX USER TO THE PORTMASTER: Command> add netuser bclinton New User successfully added Command> set user bclinton address assigned Command> set user bclinton password medicare1 Command> set user bclinton ipxnet fffffffe Command> set user bclinton protocol ppp Command> set user bclinton mtu 1500 Command> set user bclinton routing on Command> show user bclinton Username: bclinton Type: Dial-in Network User Address: assigned Netmask: 255.255.255.255 IPX Network: FFFFFFFE Protocol: PPP Options: Broadcast, Listen MTU: 1500 Async Map: 00000000 Command> save all ADDING AN IPX USER TO RADIUS: #Sample IPX user profile from /etc/raddb/users file. bclinton Password = "UNIX" User-Service-Type = Framed-User, Framed-Protocol = PPP, Framed-Address = 255.255.255.254, Framed-Netmask = 255.255.255.255, Framed-IPX-Network = 255.255.255.254, Framed-Routing = Broadcast-Listen, Framed-Compression = None, Framed-MTU = 1500 DEBUGGING TOOLS: If the user cannot connect try the following:
