Table 1-1 PortMaster Configuration Tips
1. Install the PortMaster hardware and assign an IP address and a password as described in the PortMaster 4 Installation Guide.
2. Boot the system and log in with the administrative password.
You can configure the PortMaster from a terminal attached to the console port, through an administrative Telnet session, or through a network connection.
Note ¯ This configuration guide assumes that you have completed Step 1 and Step 2 and does not give details on hardware installation, IP address assignment, or administrative password assignment.
3. If you want to use PMVision software to configure your PortMaster, install it on a workstation anywhere on your network.
PMVision is available via anonymous FTP at ftp://ftp.livingston.com/pub/livingston/software/java/. See the PMVision online help for information on using PMVision.
4. Configure the global settings.
PortMaster global settings are described in Chapter 2, "Configuring Global Settings."
5. Configure the Ethernet settings, and configure the IP protocol settings for your network.
PortMaster Ethernet settings are described in Chapter 4, "Configuring an Ethernet Interface."
6. Configure the synchronous ports.
PortMaster synchronous port settings are described in Chapter 6, "Configuring a Synchronous WAN Port."
7. Configure T1, E1, and ISDN PRI connections.
ISDN PRI connection configuration is described in Chapter 11, "Configuring T1, E1, and ISDN PRI" and Chapter 12, "Configuring a T3 Mux Board."
8. Configure dial-in users in the user table, or configure RADIUS.
The user table is described in Chapter 5, "Configuring Dial-In Users." If you are using RADIUS security instead of the user table, see the RADIUS for Windows NT Administrator's Guide or RADIUS for UNIX Administrator's Guide.
9. Configure ChoiceNet, if you are using it.
ChoiceNet is a traffic filtering mechanism for networks using dial-up InterNetworking Systems, synchronous leased line, or Ethernet. Refer to the ChoiceNet Administrator's Guide for more information.
10. Configure dial-out locations in the location table.
The location table is described in Chapter 7, "Configuring Dial-Out Connections."
11. Configure filters in the filter table.
Once the filters are created, they can be assigned as input or output filters for the Ethernet interface, users, locations, or hardwired ports. Filters are described in Chapter 8, "Configuring Filters."
12. Configure the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) if you are setting up an L2TP tunnel to an L2TP-compatible router.
See Chapter 9, "Configuring L2TP."
13. Configure OSPF, if you are using this protocol.
OSPF is described in the PortMaster Routing Guide.
14. Configure BGP, if you are using this protocol.
BGP is described in the PortMaster Routing Guide.
15. Troubleshoot your configuration, if necessary, and back it up.
See the troubleshooting information in this guide and the PortMaster Troubleshooting Guide for instructions.
