All other settings remain at factory defaults.
Use the following commands to configure the user:
1 Create a network user "Bridgett" of the network user type. Use the
following command:
add user bridgett password 1234 type network
2 Bridgett's home computer has no IP address configured on it. RAS 1500
assigns the IP address to authenticate. Since the address selection method
is assign by default from an IP address pool, you need not configure the
value. But you need to create an IP pool with an initial pool address.
add ip pool redsox initial_pool_address 177.143.045.9
3 Now that you have added the address pool, set its size, state, and route.
Example:
set ip pool redsox size 24 state public route no_aggregate
no_aggregate (default) — IP addresses are not broadcast.
aggregate — IP addresses are broadcast.
4 Add idle and session timeouts to limit Bridgett's time on the line.
set user bridgett idle_timeout 90 session_timeout 1800
5 Save your work.

Bridgett dials into RAS 1500 using PPP (Dial-Up Networking) with the
username and phone number supplied by the administrator. Bridgett is
authenticated by PAP, and Windows prompts for a network login and the
password. If approved, the user is connected to the host or gateway
specified in the Windows 95 Network dialog box from the Control Panel
under Settings. If Bridgett exceeds the timeout periods, the call is
disconnected.
By default, RAS 1500 autodetects the authentication method the remote
computer is using (CHAP or PAP). RAS 1500 first attempts CHAP, then PAP
authentication. If the remote computer does not support one of these
methods, RAS 1500 drops the call.
If the PPP link to RAS 1500 succeeds, the message appears on Bridgett's
screen as shown in Figure 10.
