71 Chapter 4: Serial Port, Device and User Configuration 4.12 IP Passthrough IP Passthrough is used to make a modem connection (e.g. the Appliance’s \ internal cellular modem) appear like a regular Ethernet connection to a third-party downstream router, allowing the downstream router to use the Appliance’s modem connection as a primary or backup WAN interface. The appliance provides the modem IP address and DNS details to the downs\ tream device over DHCP and transparently passes network traffic to...

73 Chapter 5: Firewall, Failover and Out-of-Band The Console Server has a number of failover and out-of-band access capabilities to ensure availability in the event there are difficulties in accessing the Console Server through the principal net\ work path. This chapter covers: • Out-of-band (OoB) access from a remote location using dial-up modem • Out-dial failover • OoB access using an alternate broadband link • Broadband failover The Console Server can also provide basic routed firewall facilities...

74 Chapter 5: Firewall, Failover and Out-of-Band 5.1.1 Configure dial-in PPP To enable dial-in PPP access on the Console Server modem port/ internal m\ odem: • Select the System: Dial menu option and the port to be configured (Serial DB9 Port or Internal Modem Port) Note: The Console Server’s console/modem serial port is set by default to\ 115200 baud, No parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit, with software (Xon-Xoff) flow control enabled. You can modify the baud rate and flow control using the...

75 None With this selection, no username or password authentication is required f\ or dial-in access. This is not recommended. PA P Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) is the usual method of user authentication used on the internet: sending a username and password to a server where they are compared with\ a table of authorized users. Whilst most common, PAP is the least secure of the authentication options. CHAP Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is used to verify a\...

77 5.2 OoB Broadband Access The B096-048/032/016 Console Server Management Switch has a second Ether\ net network port that can be configured for alternate and OoB (out-of-band) broadband access. With two active broadband access paths to the Console Server, in the event you are unable to access through the primary management network, y\ ou may still have access through the alternate broadband path (e.g. a T1 link). • On the System: IP menu, select Management L AN Interface and configure the IP...

78 • Specify the Probe Addresses of two sites (the Primary and Secondary) that the B096-048/032/016 is to ping to determine if Network (eth0) is still operational • Then configure Management L AN Interface (eth1) with the same IP setting that you used for the main Network Interface (eth0) to ensure transparent redundancy In this mode, Network 2 (eth1) is available as the transparent back-up\ port to Network 1 (eth0) for accessing the management network. Network 2 will automatically and transparently...
