Assigning IP Address to serial interface

[Chakravarthi V S_2]

Hi all,

My requirement is like this,

I have a D-class machine, First i would like to configure the modem and then when some one dials to the machine a different IP ADDRESS should be allocated, that will be a different IP address from the reqular IP Address, so that he doesnt have access to the network,,

Is there any way this can be done?????

Hi,

I think you are looking at xyplex or shiva dialup servers for dial-up connectivity whereby a dial-up IP address from a pool is assigned to the dialup connection.

I am not aware that it can be performed on a HP system.

Hope this helps. Regards.

I would like to assign the IP address,, and the person will be dialing into the machine from remote site

Sounds to me like you need to use SLIP, or Serial Line Internet Protocol and PPP or Point To Point protocol.
I suggest you take a look at the manual for thia at:

Be aware that you will be unable to use the UPS serial port on a D-class for this purpose.
