IP Address
Type
Ipaddress
To set the user IP address for a normal network user, use the following command:
Command> set user Username address|destination assigned|negotiated|Ipaddress
The address and destination keywords are synonymous.
Setting the Subnet Mask
Do not set a subnet mask for a network user unless the user is routed to another
network from your network. In that case, set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.255.
To set the subnet mask, use the following command:
Command> set user Username netmask Ipmask
Setting the IPX Network Number
Note – The PortMaster 4 supports the IPX protocol if it is running ComOS 4.1 or later.
IPX is not supported in ComOS 4.0.
If you are using the IPX protocol for this user, you must assign a unique IPX number to
the network connection between the remote user device and the PortMaster. Each
user's connection requires a different IPX network number. If you use fffffffe as the IPX
network number, the PortMaster assigns the user an IPX network number based on an
IP address from the IP address pool.
Note – Do not set a value of all 0s (zeros) or all Fs for the IPX network number.
To set the IPX network number, use the following command:
Command> set user Username ipxnet Ipxnetwork
Configuring RIP Routing
As described in the PortMaster Routing Guide, PortMaster products automatically send and
accept route information as RIP messages.
Note – ComOS 4.1 and later releases support both RIP-1 and RIP-2. Earlier releases of
ComOS support only RIP-1.
Configuring Dial-In Users
User IP Address Options (Continued)
Description
This option allows you to define a specific IP address for the remote
host or router. This method for assigning an IP address to a user is
most commonly used for routers that establish a connection with
the PortMaster.
