Configuring a User for Autoconnection: Command Line
This section describes how to configure a user for autoconnection.
Procedure
This procedure deals with autoconnection features only. It assumes that you have or will configure
•
The port for modem connections (see Chapter 5) or terminal connections (see Chapter 6)
•
Other user attributes (see the set user command in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command Refer-
ence)
To configure a user to automatically connect to a host, supply a set user command that specifies the
following:
set user name= user-name ports=ports autoconnect=on autohost=ip-address
autoport=tcp-port defaultaccess=autoconnect
where
•
user-name is the name of the user
•
ports is the ports this user can use
•
ip-address is the IP address of the host to which the user will be connected
•
tcp-port is the TCP port to use for connections
Example
In this example, a user is configured for autoconnection using telnet to the host specified. Because
the password field is not specified, the default (password=on) requires that the user supply a
password before the connection is made.
set user name=user4 autoconnect=on autohost=199.193.150.10 autoport=2 3
defaultaccess=autoconnect
