Using Dial-Up
Networking with a
PPP Serial Port
Console To use TCP/IP applications (Telnet, HTTP, and SNMP) over your PPP
serial port interface:
1. From My Computer, double-click Dial-Up Networking. The
Dial-Up Networking program group opens.
2. Double-click on the PPP modem previously created. The
Connect To dialog box opens.
3. Enter your password and click Connect. A Pre-Dial Terminal
Screen opens.
When the modem has successfully connected, a Post-Dial
Terminal Screen opens.
4. In the Post-Dial Terminal screen, login using your CLI user
name and password. It may be necessary to enter several
carriage returns to view the Login prompt.
5. At the CLI prompt, go to configuration mode and enter set
console transfer PPP. ASCII characters display below the CLI
prompt. This is typical while the switch attempts to connect via
PPP.
6. In the Post-Dial Terminal screen, click Continue (F7). PPP
verification completes and the Connected To dialog box displays
a message that the modem connection has been successfully
established.
Configuring the IP
Interface for the PPP
Console To configure the PPP console with an IP address and mask:
1. Configure your console serial port as a PPP Console. See
“Connecting a Modem”, earlier in this chapter.
2. Connect your modem cable to the Cajun’s serial port.
3. From the IP Configuration section of the Web Agent, click
Interfaces. The IP Interfaces dialog box opens.
4. Click CREATE. The Add IP Interface dialog box opens.
5. From the VLAN pull-down menu, select Serial-Console. This
specifies the interface for the PPP console.
6. In the Network Address field, enter the IP address to be
associated with the PPP console port.
* Note: If you do not enter a name for this interface, the
IP address is used as the interface name.
