5. Firewall, Failover and OOB Access

5.2.4 Set Up Earlier Windows Clients

For Windows 2000, the PPP client set up procedure is the same as above, except you go to the Dial-Up Networking Folder

by clicking the Start button and selecting Settings. Then click Network and Dial-up Connections and click Make New

Connection.

Similarly, for Windows 98, double-click My Computer on the Desktop, then open Dial-Up Networking, double-click Make

New Connection and proceed as above.

5.2.5 Set Up Linux Clients

The online tutorial http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialPPP.html presents a selection of methods for establishing a

dial-up PPP connection:

• Command line PPP and manual conﬁguration (which works with any Linux distribution).

• Using the Linuxconf conﬁguration tool (for Red Hat compatible distributions). This conﬁgures the scripts ifup/ifdown to start

and stop a PPP connection.

• Using the Gnome control panel conﬁguration tool.

• WVDIAL and the Redhat “Dialup conﬁguration tool”.

• GUI dial program X-isp. Download/Installation/Conﬁguration.

Note: For all PPP clients:

• Set the PPP link up with TCP/IP as the only protocol enabled.

• Specify the Server will assign IP address and do DNS.

• Do not set up the console server PPP link as the default for Internet connection.

5.3 Dial-Out Access

The internal or external attached modem on the console server can be set up in either:

• Failover mode, where a dial-out connection is only established in event of a ping failure

• With the dial-out connection always on.

In both of the above cases, during a disruption in the dial-out connection, the console server will work to re-establish the

connection.
