Configuring Dial-In Users; Configuring The User Table; Displaying User Information - Lucent Technologies PortMaster 4 Configuration Manual

This chapter describes how to configure the PortMaster 4 user table to support dial-in
connections. The user table settings define how each dial-in user is authenticated and
how dial-in connections are made.
To configure network dial-in connections from other routers, you must define each
remote router as a user on the PortMaster.
If you are using RADIUS, you must configure user attributes in individual user files in
the RADIUS user database rather than in the PortMaster user table. Refer to the RADIUS
for Windows NT Administrator's Guide and RADIUS for UNIX Administrator's Guide for more
information.
This chapter discusses the following topics:
• "Configuring the User Table" on page 5-1
• "User Types" on page 5-2
• "Configuring Settings for Network and Login Users" on page 5-3
• "Configuring Network Users" on page 5-4
• "Configuring Login Users" on page 5-8
Note – Only 100 to 200 users can be configured in the user table and stored in the
nonvolatile memory of the PortMaster. Therefore, use RADIUS for user authentication
when you must configure multiple PortMaster products to handle more than a few
dozen users.
See the PortMaster 4 Command Line Reference, the RADIUS for Windows NT Administrator's
Guide, and RADIUS for UNIX Administrator's Guide for more detailed command
descriptions and instructions.
You can also configure the PortMaster 4 using the PMVision application for Microsoft
Windows, UNIX, and other platforms supporting the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
PMVision replaces the PMconsole interface to ComOS.

Configuring the User Table

This section describes how to display user information and how to add users to or delete
them from the user table.
