Configure Ports in Routing and Remote Access

If needed, you can change the default values for Ports in Routing and Remote Access.

To configure ports

• Fill out the Configure Device dialog box as shown in Table 10.19. For information about how to configure ports for your site-to-site connection, see Enable routing on ports in Help and Support Center for Windows Server 2003.

Remote access connections (inbound only):

Select this option if you want to allow connections from individual remote access users in addition to connections from a remote router.

Demand-dial routing connections (inbound and outbound):

Select this option if you want to enable a site-to-site demand-dial connection. This is the default.

Demand-dial routing connections (outbound only):

This option is available only for a PPPoE connection to the Internet. Select this option if you want this router to function only as a calling router.

Phone number for this device:

If you configure a value for Called-Station-ID in the remote access policy associated with this connection, you must manually type a value for this field:

• If this is a dial-up connection, type the phone number that was entered in the Called-Station-ID remote access policy attribute.
  
• If this is a VPN connection, type the IP address of the VPN server’s Internet-connected interface (entered in theCalled-Station-ID remote access policy attribute)

Maximum ports:

For PPTP or L2TP/IPSec VPN routers only, change the default number of ports. For optimal scalability, use 10 or fewer ports.
