Lab 4.2.1: Configuring Win9X Dialup

Objective:

  • Configure Win9x dialup to the AUX port of your core router.

Scenario:

The CTO of the Atlanta Bread Company would like for you to setup her laptop for PPP dialin access to the core router. She must have a dedicated line for her private dialin! You will configure a PPP dialup link between the Atlanta core router and this telecommuter.

Lab Tasks:

  1. Log into the Atlanta router and enter global configuration mode.
  2. Configure the AUX interface for PPP dialin. The commands to configure the core router for dialin access are:

    Atlanta(config)#interface async65
    Atlanta(config-if)#ip unnumbered fastethernet 0/0
    Atlanta(config-if)#encapsulation ppp
    Atlanta(config-if)#async mode interactive
    Atlanta(config-if)#peer default ip address pool dialin
    Atlanta(config-if)#no cdp enable
    Atlanta(config-if)#ppp authentication pap
    Atlanta(config-if)#line aux 0
    Atlanta(config-if)#autoselect ppp
    Atlanta(config-if)#ip local pool dialin 172.16.0.250 172.16.0.254
    Atlanta(config)#username cto password cisco

  3. Write the configuration to memory.
  4. On the remote laptop, double-click on the "My Computer" icon and then double-click on the Dial-up Networking folder as seen below:



  5. Double click on Make New Connection as seen below:



  6. Put "Atlanta Dialin" in box that says, "Type a name for the computer you are dialing:"
    Make sure the correct modem is listed in the "Select a modem" dialog box as seen below:


  7. Put the phone number of the AUX modem, 555-600X, in the "Telephone number:" dialog box as seen below:


  8. After you click "Next", then you click Finish. The CTO now has a dialup connection setup. Double click on the "Atlanta Dialin" icon to start the dialin service. The Username is 'cto" and the password is "doughgirl"


  9. Click connect and the modem will dial the AUX port on the core router.



  10. To view your TCP/IP dialin settings go to Start, Run, and type "WINIPCFG" and click "OK". This will display the IP address of your remote workstation. Windows IP Configuration does not display the remote core router as the Default Gateway because of a cosmetic flaw in the Microsoft software.



    Congratulations! You now have a Remote Access Server for the CTO.
