Configuring Routing And Remote Access Service Properties

You configure the Routing And Remote Access service properties in the properties dialog box of the server node in the Routing And Remote Access console. These properties include routing, demand-dial, and remote access enabling; authentication configuration; client address assignment; Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) options; and logging features.

General Tab

The General tab, shown in Figure 4, allows you to configure the Routing And Remote Access service as a LAN router, demand-dial router, remote access server, or all three. For example, if you have selected the Local Area Network (LAN) Routing Only option and have not selected the Remote Access Server check box, neither demand-dial routing nor remote access will be available. Before you can even create any demand-dial interfaces, you must enable Routing And Remote Access for demand-dial routing by selecting the LAN And Demand-Dial Routing option. Similarly, to allow remote clients to connect to the local server, the Remote Access Server check box must be selected.

Security Tab

The Security tab, shown in Figure 5, allows you to configure authentication methods, connection request logging, and preshared keys for Internet Protocol Security (IPSec). These security options are applied to remote access clients as well as to demand-dial routers.

IP Tab

The IP tab is shown in Figure 6. This tab allows you to configure the Routing And Remote Access service to route IP packets over LAN, remote access, or demand-dial connections. Whereas options on the General tab apply to routing, demand-dial, and remote access service in general, the function of the IP tab is to enable specifically IP traffic to pass through the various connection types. Consequently, to configure IP routing and remote access successfully, you must select appropriate options on both the General tab and the IP tab.

In the IP Address Assignment area of the IP tab, you can configure how the server assigns IP addresses to remote access clients. When selected, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) option indicates that the remote access clients will be assigned addresses from a DHCP server. This DHCP server, if not configured on the Routing And Remote Access service itself, must be connected to the remote access interface through a DHCP relay agent.

Alternatively, when the Static Address Pool option is selected, Routing And Remote Access acts as its own DHCP-type server. In this case, you must manually specify a range of addresses from which the Routing And Remote Access service assigns addresses to clients.

Finally, the IP tab also includes an Enable Broadcast Name Resolution check box. Selecting this option enables a remote access client to resolve computer names on all network segments connected directly to the Routing And Remote Access computer even when no DNS or WINS server is available. Essentially, this option, which is enabled by default, allows the router to pass NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) broadcasts from the remote access client to all of the network segments connected to the router. Figure 7 illustrates a network in which this feature has been enabled.

PPP Tab

You use the PPP tab to negotiate and authenticate dial-up connections. The configuration options available on this tab, shown in Figure 8, allow you to enable and disable four PPP-related options: Multilink Connections, Dynamic Bandwidth Control Using BAP Or BACP, Link Control Protocol (LCP) Extensions, and Software Compression. All four of these options are enabled by default.

Figure 8. PPP properties for Routing And Remote Access


Multilink Connections

When the Multilink Connections check box is selected, the Routing And Remote Access service allows Multilink connections from remote access clients. With Multilink, multiple physical links operate as a single logical link over which data is sent and received. Thus, PPP clients can increase their bandwidth by fusing separate connections to the remote access server. (Multilink requires additional configuration at the client.)

Dynamic Bandwidth Control Using BAP Or BACP

When the Dynamic Bandwidth Control Using BAP Or BACP check box is selected, Multilink connections add or drop additional PPP connections to accommodate a rise or fall in available bandwidth. Bandwidth Allocation Protocol (BAP) and Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol (BACP) work together to provide this service, which is known as bandwidth on demand (BOD).

Link Control Protocol (LCP) Extensions

The Link Control Protocol (LCP) Extensions check box must be selected to support certain advanced PPP features such as callback. Leave this option enabled unless clients cannot successfully connect through PPP. Disabling this check box might resolve problems with older clients that do not support these extensions.

Software Compression

The Software Compression check box enables Routing And Remote Access to perform compression of PPP data at the software level. Leave this option enabled unless the modem connecting to the PPP client is capable of compressing PPP data at the hardware level.

Logging Tab

The Logging tab allows you to configure Routing And Remote Access logging options. By default, the Routing And Remote Access service is configured to log only errors and warnings. Figure 9 shows the other logging options. Note that this tab includes an option to log additional information for debugging.
