27.9 Editing Login Script

For some remote gateways, text login is required before PPP negotiation is started. The
ZyWALL provides a script facility for this purpose. The script has six programmable sets;
each set is composed of an ‘Expect’ string and a ‘Send’ string. After matching a message from
the server to the ‘Expect’ field, the ZyWALL returns the set’s ‘Send’ string to the server.

For instance, a typical login sequence starts with the server printing a banner, a login prompt
for you to enter the user name and a password prompt to enter the password:

Welcome to Acme, Inc.
Login: myLogin
Password:

To handle the first prompt, you specify “ogin: ” as the ‘Expect’ string and “myLogin” as

the ‘Send’ string in set 1. The reason for leaving out the leading “L” is to avoid having to know

exactly whether it is upper or lower case. Similarly, you specify “word: ” as the ‘Expect’

string and your password as the ‘Send’ string for the second prompt in set 2.

You can use two variables, $USERNAME and $PASSWORD (all UPPER case), to represent the

actual user name and password in the script, so they will not show in the clear. They are
replaced with the outgoing login name and password in the remote node when the ZyWALL
sees them in a ‘Send’ string. Please note that both variables must been entered exactly as
shown. No other characters may appear before or after, either, i.e., they must be used alone in
response to login and password prompts.

Private

This parameter determines if the ZyWALL will include the route to this remote node in

its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and not included in RIP

broadcasts. If No, the route to this remote node will be propagated to other hosts

through RIP broadcasts.

RIP Direction Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select the RIP Direction from Both, None,

In Only, Out Only and None.

Version

Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select the RIP version from RIP-1, RIP-2B

and RIP-2M.

Multicast

IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to establish

membership in a Multicast group. The ZyWALL supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-

v1) and version 2 (IGMP-v2). Press the [SPACE BAR] to enable IP Multicasting or

select None to disable it. See

Chapter 4 on page 85

feature.
