Table 6-1. AWAN Access Server Configuration Tasks (page 1 of 2)
Task Description
Configuring General Properties You can enter a description of your AWAN access server
and configure contact information.
Default: No description or contact information is
configured.
Configuring IP Properties If you are using your AWAN access server in an Internet
Protocol (IP) environment, you can configure the IP
addresses of a gateway and a domain name system (DNS)
server in your network. You can also modify the IP
information assigned to your AWAN access server.
Default: If the AWAN access server was able to discover
a gateway on your local area network (LAN), the IP
address of that gateway is configured. A DNS server
address is not configured. An IP address is automatically
assigned to your AWAN access server by a DHCP server
or can be explicitly assigned using the BOOTP service or
Command Line Interface (CLI) commands.
Configuring IPX Properties If you are using a model 3883-8R, 3883-16R, 3884R, or
3885R AWAN access server in a Novell NetWare
environment, you can configure Network Asynchronous
Serial Interface (NASI) dial-in and dial-out. You can also
override the learned frame type, Internet Package
Exchange (IPX) address, and remote-node address.
Default: Neither NASI dial-in nor NASI dial-out is
configured.
