700 Series Command Glossary

(See also the Cisco 700 Series Command Reference).

CD <profile>: Changes to the specified profile. For example:
cd lan---Changes to the LAN profile
cd Atlanta---Changes to the Atlanta profile
cd Boston---Changes to the Boston profile
SEt ACtive [username]: Sets a profile to active. This allows packets from the LAN to activate the connection to the remote router. You can either use the SEt ACtive command or reboot the router to make it active.
SEt BRidge OFf: Turns bridging off in the respective profile.
SEt BRidge ON: Turns bridging on in the respective profile.
SEt [1|2] DIrectory [number]: Sets the directory number assigned by the telephone company. In the US, this is usually the 7-digit local dialing number. For example, if the spid is 01404555111101, then the directory number may be 5551111.
SEt ENcapsulation PPP: Sets the encapsulation for the user profile default template to PPP.
SEt IP ADdress <ip address>: Assigns the IP address to the respective profile.
SEt IP FRaming NOne: Sets the IP framing to IPCP. This allows IP negotiation to be done using PPP.
SEt IP NEtmask <mask>: Sets the IP netmask for the respective profile. This is set in dotted decimal notation.
For example, a Class C (also known as 24bit) netmask would be 255.255.255.0
SEt IP PROpagate OFF: Turns off propagation of the user profile's IP address, so that this interface's IP network will not be sent via RIP out the ethernet port of the main router.
SEt IP RIp SNapshot CLient ACtive 5 QUiet 480 UPdate ON: Sets the router to be the Snapshot client for IP RIP routing updates. During the 5 minute active time the router will pass routing updates. After the 5 minute active time, the router will stay in quiet mode for 8 hours (480 minutes) before going back into the active time.
SEt IP RIp SNapshot SErver ACtive 5 UPdate ON: Sets the router to be the Snapshot server for IP RIP routing updates. During the 5 minute active time the router will pass routing updates.
SEt IP RIp UPdate DEmand: Sets the interval for RIP updates to occur only when the ISDN line first connects and when a change occurs in the routing table. Using demand in the user profile makes it so the router doesn't keep the line up constantly due to routing updates.
SEt IP RIp UPdate OFf: Disables the passing of RIP updates on a profile basis. Therefore, RIP packets will not be sent on the profile where SEt IP RIp UPdate OFf is configured.
SEt IP RIp UPdate PEriodic: Sets the interval for RIP updates to be periodic. Periodic means the router will send routing updates every 10 seconds. This is the default for RIP networks.
SEt IP RIp UPdate SNapshot: Sets the interval for RIP updates to use Snapshot. When using Snapshot the router exchanges routing updates during the active period. During the quiet period the router does not exchange routing updates and the routing table maintains the last update until the next active period.
SEt IP RIp VErsion <1|2|BOth>: Sets the RIP Version. RIP Version 1 is the default. RIP Version 2 can be used in networks with variable-length subnet masks (VLSM).
SEt IP ROUTE DEstination <network/bits> GAteway <next hop ip address>: Sets a static route entry for the remote network (destination) thru a gateway address (usually the address of the user profile on the remote router).
SEt IP ROuting ON: Turns IP routing on in the respective profile.
SEt IPX NETWork <network>: Sets the IPX network number for the profile. In our examples, we use 100 for Atlanta and 200 for Boston for the LAN/Ethernet. It is important to make sure the IPX Network number is unique. It cannot be the same as the IPX Internal Net number.
SEt IPX NETWork AAAA: Sets the IPX network number to AAAA. This is the address for the ISDN connection. The remote router must have it's user profile set with the same IPX network number.
SEt IPX RIp SNapshot CLient ACtive 5 QUiet 480 UPdate ON: Sets the router to be the Snapshot client for IPX RIP routing updates. During the 5 minute active time the router will pass routing updates. After the 5 minute active time, the router will stay in quiet mode for 8 hours (480 minutes) before going back into the active time.
SEt IPX RIp SNapshot SErver ACtive 5 UPdate ON: Sets the router to be the Snapshot server for IPX RIP routing updates. During the 5 minute active time the router will pass routing updates.
SEt IPX RIp UPdate DEmand: Sets the interval for IPX RIP updates to occur only when the ISDN line first connects and when a change occurs in the routing table. Using demand in the user profile makes it so the router doesn't keep the line up constantly due to routing updates.
SEt IPX RIp UPdate PEriodic: Sets the interval for IPX RIP updates to be periodic. Periodic means the router will send routing updates every 10 seconds.
SEt IPX RIp UPdate SNapshot: Sets the interval for IPX RIP updates to use Snapshot. When using Snapshot the router exchanges routing updates during the active period. During the quiet period the router does not exchange routing updates and the routing table maintains the last update until the next active period.
SEt IPX ROuting ON: Turns IPX routing on in the respective profile.
SEt IPX FRaming 802.3: Sets the frame type for IPX to 802.3.
SEt IPX FRaming NOne: Sets the IPX framing to IPXCP. This allows IPX negotiation to be done using PPP.
SEt IPX SPoofing <minutes>: Enables spoofing for IPX watchdog packets for the user profile. This stops watchdog traffic from keeping the ISDN connection up.
SEt [1|2] NUmber <ISDN number>: Sets the phone numbers in the user profile that are used to dial the remote router. If the remote router has the same number for both B-channels, set the same number in 1 and 2. Link 2 is for bandwidth on demand. It will not automatically connect if link 1 isn't already connected. Link 2's number is not used as alternate number.
SEt PPp AUthentication INcoming CHap: Sets the PPP authentication for incoming calls to be forced to authenticate via CHAP.
SEt PPp AUthentication OUtgoing CHap: Sets the PPP authentication on outbound calls to CHAP. This setting will force bidirectional authentication via CHAP on the outbound call. When the main router calls the remote router, the main router will challenge the remote router to authenticate with it using CHAP.
SEt PPp AUthentication OUtgoing NOne: Disables the PPP authentication on outbound calls.
SEt PPp MUltilink ON: Sets PPP Multilink on. PPP Multilink allows you to use both B-channels in a PPP connection for more bandwidth. The default is ON.
SEt PPP SEcret CLient: Sets the CHAP secret that will be used to send to the remote router. This is sent when the remote router sends an authentication challenge.
SEt PPP SEcret HOst: Sets the CHAP secret the main router expects from the remote router.
SEt [spid id] SPid [SPID number]: Sets the ISDN SPID number for the ISDN channels. The information about what the SPID numbers to use should be provided by the ISDN carrier.
SEt SWitch <NI-1|5ess>: Sets the ISDN switch type to National ISDN-1 (NI-1) or AT&T 5ESS. The information about what switch type to use should be provided by the ISDN carrier. Other options are dms, ins, vn3, net3, 1tr6, tph, perm64 and perm128.
SEt SYstemname [<Systemname>]: Sets the system name of router. This system name will have to match the user profile in remote site router for authentication purposes. The system name is sent to the far end router as the userid during ppp authentication.
SEt TIMEout <seconds>: Sets the idle timeout parameter in seconds. If there is no interesting traffic to be forwarded across the ISDN connection for the time set, then the call will be disconnected. For example, if it is set to 120, then the connection will stay up for 120 seconds (2 minutes) if there is no traffic to pass. The default is OFF. This means, by default, the connection will not disconnect.
SEt USer [username]: Creates a user profile and changes to that user profile. The user profile name must match the system name of the remote site router. The system name is received from the far end as the userid during ppp authentication. In our example we set a user profile called Home in the Office router. The user profile Home matches the system name of the remote site router called Home.
