Using the switch parameters gathered from Task1, configure the switch. View the existing WAN parameters by entering

parameters to be compatible with those provided by the telco. For information on setting WAN parameters , refer to Managing Nortel Networks 5399 and 8000

Access Switches Using Command Line Interfaces.

Note: Make sure the WAN parameters are compatible with those provided by

the telco. The telco may temporarily disable lines connected to improperly configured devices. For more informatio n on WAN par amet er s, refer to Nort el Networks 5399 and 8000 Access Switch Software Reference.

Task 8: Configure Security

This section describes how to configure both ACP and RADIUS security regimes and PPP setup. When configuring RAC security, you configure the security regime before configuring PPP.

Note: If you are using another third party security regime, refer to the

Managing Nortel Networks 5399 and 8000 Access Switches Using Command Line Interfaces and Installing and Administering the Config Utility.

ACP Security

sho wan=all all. Set the WAN

This section tells the user how to configure ACP security on a server and how to setup the RAC to authenticate users. After setting up security on a Microsoft NT server or a UNIX server, you must setup the RAC for authenticati on on the server.

Note: To configure ACP security, you must have selected ACP as the default

security regime during the software installation.

Quick-Start Guide

ACP Security on a Microsoft NT Server

To setup ACP security on a Windows NT Server, you can use native NT user accounts. Each user must ha v e local logon acces s rights and belong to a gr oup that

has global authentication. The NT server must also have access to the domain’s Primary Domain Controller (PDC).

ACP Security on a UNIX Server

To setup ACP security on a UNIX server, perform the following:

1. Log on to the UNIX server as superuser.

2. Create the password file /usr/annex/acp_passwd. The format for

acp_passwd is the same as /etc/p asswd.

3. To add a user’s password enter username:: and then run ch_passwd.

Authentication Setup

Set up RAC to authenticate on the security server:

1. Log on to the RAC as superuser and run admin. Enable security on the

RAC by typing:

admin: set annex enable_security y

Set the RAC’s ACP host.

admin: set annex pref_secure1_host

3. Leave cli security off so you can access the RAC from the console.

admin: set port cli_security n

Set vcli security.

admin: set annex vcli_security y

Reset the RAC for the configuration changes to take effect.

admin: reset annex all

After the RAC is reset, try to log on to the RAC through a telnet session.

If security is working you may go ahead and set cli security using the following admin comman d:

admin: set port cli_security y

RADIUS Security

With the RADIUS server up and running, find out the service ports that the RADIUS server is using. The service ports will usually be 1645/udp for authentication and 1646/udp for accounting. To set up RADIUS security:

1. Log on to the RAC as superuser and run admin. Enable security on the

RAC by entering:

admin: set annex enable_security y

Configure the RADIUS host.

2. a. Set the RAC’s RADIUS host.

admin: set annex pref_secure1_host

b. Set the RAC’s service port for au thentication on the RADIUS host.

admin: set annex radius_auth1_port

c. Set the RAC’s accounting host.

admin: set annex radius_acct1_host

d. Set the RAC’s service port for accounting on the RADIUS acct1 host.

admin: set annex radius_acct1_port

e. Set the authentication protocol on the RAC.

admin: set annex auth_protocol radius

Enable the RADIUS client on the RAC.

admin: set annex enable_radius_acct y

<1645 or 1812>

<1646 or 1813>

Note: The secret entrie s made i n Steps 6 and 7 must be made in the cl ients f i le

Set the secret authentication password that is shared between the

RADIUS host and the RAC.

admin: set annex radius_auth1_secret

5. Set the secret accounting password that is shared between the RADIUS

host and the RAC.

6. admin: set annex radius_acct1_secret

PPP Setup

To set up PPP security, perform the following:

1. Log on to the RAC as superuser and run admin.

2. Set PPP security.

admin: set port slip_ppp_security y

Set PPP security protocol.

admin: set port ppp_security_protocol <

Enable security for terminal dial-in users.

admin: set port cli_security y

Set the RAC for PPP callers only.

admin: set port mode ppp admin: reset port

6. Set up the RAC so that addresses are on the DS0s.

admin: wan 1 admin: set wan=1 ds0=all remote_address

admin: reset wan

Note: IP addresses are in cremented from the starting IP address using an

increment of 1. Addresses will be applied on all DS0s and will be used at random as the DS0s are used at random. Addresses are assigned to users once they dial in.

Task 9: Reboot the RAC

After making all the configuration changes, you must reboot the RAC for the changes to take effect. After you reboot the RAC:

1. Connect the cables to the WAN interface ports on the front (Model 5399)

or back (Model 8000) of the RAC.

2. Test the RAC by dialing into it.

Task 10: Customizing the RAC

After installing and booting the RAC, you can customize RAC parameters (for example security or port parameters) using one of the following tools:

• CLI interface (see Managing Nortel Networks 5399 and 8000 Access Swi tches Using Command Line Interfaces)

• Config Utility (see Installing and Administering the Config Utility and the Config Utility online Help system)
