Supported Software and Switch Types For Release 5.4

Release 5.4 supports or is compatible with a number of operating systems,

compilers, switch types, and security servers.

Supported Operating Systems

The distribution media contain binary ﬁles for the supported operating

systems. When the installation script detects that there are binary ﬁles for

the host operating system, it gives you the option of installing the binary

ﬁles or loading the source code and compiling the software at a later time.

If there are no binary ﬁles available, the script loads the source code and

uses a supported compiler on the host system to build the image. If the

script does not identify a compiler on your system, it ends the installation

session.

Binary ﬁles and source code are provided on the distribution media for

each of the following operating system versions:

• HP-UX 10.10/10.20

• IBM RS/6000 AIX 4.1.4/4.1.5

• Microsoft

®

Windows NT 3.51 for Intel

• Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 for Intel

• Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 for DEC Alpha

• Red Hat V4.1 Linux (2.0.27 Kernel)

• Solaris 2.4/2.5/2.5.1

• Sun Microsystems SunOS 4.1.3/4.1.4

New Features in Release 5.4

Release 5.4 introduces ﬁve new features.

Forcing the Download of Modem Code

You can use the optional keyword force with the command to download

Microcom modem code for Remote Annex 6100s and Remote Annex

6300s. By adding the force keyword to the end of the command line or

conﬁguration ﬁle entry, you can force the download of modem code to a

modem that is not responding properly.

You can determine if a modem is not responding properly by issuing the

modem -v command; any unresponsive modems on the RA 6100 or

RA 6300 will be listed as having an unknown version.

In the Remote Annex’s conﬁguration ﬁle, the command to force the

download of modem code is:

download mic <modem code filename> [force]

At the command line, the command to download modem code is

afd asy<portnum> <modem code filename> [force]

The force keyword should be used only as a ﬁnal attempt to

recover a Microcom modem used in an RA 6100 or an

RA 6300. Using the force keyword will not enable you to

recover a modem that has experienced a hardware failure.

Remote Access Software Version 5.4 Release Notes

303105-A Rev. 00

Overriding the Nameserver

The annex parameter nameserver_override governs the unit’s behavior

when the unit and a remote host have different non-zero nameserver

addresses conﬁgured during IPCP negotiations. If nameserver_override

is set to N (its default value), the unit will acknowledge the remote host’s

nameserver address. If nameserver_override is set to Y, the unit will not

acknowledge the remote host’s nameserver address, and will return

instead the nameserver address conﬁgured in the unit. Each of the four

nameserver options are negotiated independently: primary DNS,

secondary DNS, primary WINS, secondary WINS.

Specifying Separate RADIUS Accounting Servers

The parameters radius_acct1_host and radius_acct2_host enable you

to specify RADIUS accounting servers that are separate from your

RADIUS authentication servers. Set the values of these parameters to the

IP addresses of the corresponding accounting servers. The default value

for each of these parameters is 0.0.0.0.

If one or more separate accounting servers have not been set, RADIUS

will use the pref_secure1_host and pref_secure2_host as the accounting

servers.

If a primary accounting server is speciﬁed, but no backup accounting

server, RADIUS interprets this as meaning that no backup server is

desired, and does not use either of the authentication servers as a backup

accounting server.

Allowing Login By Guest Users

You can allow a guest user to log in to a unit without having to provide

a password. You can enable this functionality through a unit’s

conﬁguration ﬁle. For example:

%local_user

begin_user user_telnet

clicmd telnet <hostname>

end_user

You can include multiple %local_user entries in the conﬁguration ﬁle,

which allows multiple users to log in to the unit without a password and

then access a particular host on the network. Guest users may use any

CLI command that does not require superuser privilege.

Enabling 32-Bit Proxy ARP

The port parameter proxy_arp_enabled allows the unit to proxy ARP

all remote IP connections when it is set to yes. The default value, no,

allows the unit to proxy ARP only those remote IP connections with the

same subnet address as the unit.

When proxy_arp_enabled is set to

yes, the unit will respond to ARP

requests containing the IP address of the remote connection. The unit

should send ARP replies with the source IP address of the remote

connection and the source MAC address equal to the unit’s MAC address.

Remote Access Software Release 5.4 Corrections

The following Remote Access Software problems have been ﬁxed in

Release 5.4.

SPR 9308

Ifpref_secure1_host is down, security now contacts pref_secure2_host

properly.

SPR 9802

Filters that have been entered previously from the CLI ﬁlter add

command and subsequently deleted are no longer restored when the unit

is rebooted.

SPR 9805

Filters created using interface=all no longer create erroneous multiple

entries in the ﬁlter list.

SPR 11561

Dialback is no longer granted if a user dials into a unit conﬁgured for

outbound pools only.

SPR 11722

The unit now negotiates local IP addresses correctly for BayDVS users.

Remote Access Software Version 5.4 Release Notes

SPR 11714

The TMS ﬁeld Authentication Protocol is no longer valid in versions of

the image or erpcd subsequent to R14.1. A new TMS ﬁeld, Server

Location, determines if the BayDVS user is authenticated locally by the

unit or remotely by the gateway.

In the case where an image subsequent to R14.1 is using a TMS (erpcd)

from prior to R14.1, the Authentication Protocol ﬁeld is used as follows:

if it is set to ACP, authentication is performed locally by the unit; if it is

set to RADIUS, authentication is performed remotely by the gateway.

SPR 11604

rtelnet sessions can be opened with Remote Annex ports numbered higher

than 64.

SPR 10144

Separate RADIUS accounting server functionality has been

implemented.

SPR 11563

A new Nameserver parameter, nameserver_override, has been added to

the unit’s image. This parameter governs the unit’s behavior when the

unit and the remote host have different non-zero NS addresses conﬁgured

during IPCP negotiations.

SPR 11484

CHAP now works correctly on sync PPP connections.
