Lab 10: Configuring PPP, PAP, and Compression over Asynchronous Dialup ”Part I Practical Scenario This chapter began describing PPP as the dominant Internet access protocol. PPP is not only used to access the Internet, but it also is widely used by many telecommuters and for remote access to private corporate networks. Many corporate applications such as Citrix or WIN frame, as well as most e-mail servers, require IP as the network layer protocol. To reach these applications, it is necessary to run IP on the remote client workstation and use PPP as the data-link protocol. Lab Exercise The Skynet testing facility is a secret networking test site. New Cisco IOS Software features are tested there, and many types of internetwork infrastructures are modeled . At times, engineers require secure remote access to Skynet. Currently, only one engineer, code name JP, has access to the lab. You have been tasked with configuring a secure remote access connection. Use the following guidelines in your design: -
Windows 95/98/2000 will be the client. The IP address should be set to dynamic. -
The user ID is JP, and the password is trashman. -
JP will need to run several Visual Basic programs requiring IP services. This will require IP access to the host 172.16.1.10, which is local to the Ethernet segment. Lab Objectives -
Configure the access server and network as depicted in Figure 4-9. Figure 4-9. PPP Access to Skynet Testing Facility  -
Use PPP on the asynchronous link. -
Configure the proper authentication protocol for Windows 95/98/2000 client, with the username and password specified. -
Allow the link to drop after 10 minutes of inactivity. -
Also allow a TTY session to the access server so it can be used with a standard terminal emulator, such as HyperTerm. -
Optional: Increase performance of the link. Equipment Needed -
One Cisco router, preferably an access server, a Cisco rolled cable, a head-shell labeled MODEM, and a modem. -
One Windows 95/98/2000 workstation with modem. -
Optional: To model the actual lab as depicted in Figure 4-9, you will also need an Ethernet hub, and an additional workstation. However, this is not an integral part of the lab. Physical Layout and Prestaging -
Connect the modem, hub, and workstation to the router, as shown in Figure 4-9. -
Configure a Windows 95/98/2000 dialup networking session. Set the workstation to obtain its IP address automatically. For authentication, use the user ID of JP and the password of trashman. Remember, this is case-sensitive. |
