Configuring The Asynchronous Group Interface; Configure - Cisco AS5300-96VOIP-A Software Configuration Manual

Configuring the Asynchronous Group Interface

You can assign the asynchronous interfaces to a group so that you can configure them as a group,
instead of individually.

Configuring the Asynchronous Group Interface
Purpose
Enter enable mode (also called
privileged EXEC mode).
Enter the password.
You have entered enable mode when the
prompt changes to
Enter global configuration mode. You
have entered global configuration mode
when the prompt changes to
5300(config)#.
Place all asynchronous interfaces in a
single group, so that you configure the
same parameters quickly on all
interfaces at one time.
To conserve IP addresses, configure the
asynchronous interfaces as unnumbered,
and assign the IP address of the Ethernet
interface to them.
Enable PPP to run on the set of interfaces
in the group.
Configure interactive mode on the
asynchronous interface.
Enable CHAP and PAP authentication on
the interface.
Support dial-in PC clients. At the global
level, define the pool of addresses.
Define the group range of the interface.
The number you use with the
group-range command depends on the
number of asynchronous interfaces you
have on your access server. That is, if
your access server has 48 asynchronous
interfaces, you can specify group-range
1 48. If 60, specify group-range 1 60.
Return to enable mode.
