Configuring Tms For An Erpcd -Based Network - Bay Networks Baystream 7 Configuration And Troubleshooting Manual

Configuring TMS for an erpcd -based Network
A tunnel is a secure, virtual, direct pathway between two endpoints. In a Dial VPN
network, a tunnel is the pathway between the NAS that receives the remote user's
call and the gateway that connects to the remote user's home network through a
frame relay network. Tunnel users are authenticated by a RADIUS server running
BaySecure Access Control (BSAC) on the remote network, although the tunnel
management database resides at the service provider network.
All administration and configuration of the tunnel happens at the service
provider's site. An administrator at the service provider site must configure the
tunnel with various attributes: its destination IP address, the security protocols it
supports, its password, and so on. The these attributes are stored in the tunnel
management system (TMS) database.
Dial VPN offers two ways of managing and using the TMS database: erpcd-based,
described in this chapter, and RADIUS-only, described in
