Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command is used to configure the ISDN NFAS feature on Cisco routers for T1 controllers only.
The primary and backup D channels should be configured on separate T1 controllers. The router's other T1 controllers can be configured for 24 B channels.
Once this command is in use, all configuration changes made to the primary D channel propagate to all the NFAS group members. The primary D channel interface is the only interface shown after the configuration is written to memory.
Examples
The following example configures T1 controller 1/0 for PRI and for the NFAS primary D channel. This primary D channel controls all the B channels in NFAS group 1.
controller t1 1/0 framing esf linecode b8zs pri-group timeslots 1-24 nfas_d primary nfas_interface 0 nfas_group 1

Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command is required for all four of the VPDN subgroups.
L2TP is the only protocol that can be used for dialout.
Changing the protocol will remove all the commands from the VPDN subgroup and any protocol-specific commands from the VPDN group configuration.
Examples
The following example configures VPDN group 1 to accept dial-in calls using L2F and request dialout calls using L2TP:
vpdn-group 1 accept dialin protocol l2f virtual-template 1 request dialout protocol l2tp pool-member 1 local name reuben terminate-from hostname cerise initiate-to ip 10.3.2.1 l2f ignore-mid-sequence l2tp ip udp checksum
If you then use the no protocol command in request-dialout mode, the configuration will be changed to this:
vpdn-group 1 accept dialin protocol l2f virtual-template 1 request dialout local name reuben terminate-from hostname cerise l2f ignore-mid-sequence
Related Commands

Note For standalone network access server environments, configure resource groups before using them in customer profiles. For external RPMS environments, configure resource groups on the network access server before defining them on external RPMS servers. |
When enabling RPM for SS7 signalling, like resources in the network access server (NAS) must be in a single group:
All resource group types must have the same number of resources and that number must equal the number of interface channels available from the public network switch. This grouping scheme prevents the signal "Channel Not Available" (CNA) from being sent to the signaling point. For SS7 signaling, Microcom and MICA technologies modems must be in the same group. If SS7 signaling is not used, Cisco recommends assigning Microcom and MICA modems to separate groups to avoid introducing errors in RPM statistics.

Usage Guidelines
You can have several concurrent rlogin connections open and switch back and forth between them. To open a new connection, first suspend the current connection by pressing the escape sequence (Ctrl-Shift-6 then x [Ctrl^x] by default) to return to the EXEC prompt. Then open a new connection. A user cannot automatically log in to a UNIX system from the router, but must provide a user ID and a password for each connection.
If your preferred transport is set to rlogin, you can use the connect command in place of the rlogin command. Refer to the chapter "Configuring Terminal Operating Characteristics for Dial-In Sessions" in the Cisco IOS Dial Services Configuration Guide: Terminal Services for more information about configuring a preferred transport type. When your preferred transport is set to none or to another protocol, you must use the rlogin command to connect to a host.
To terminate an active rlogin session, enter one of the commands from the following list at the UNIX prompt of the device to which you are connecting:
Examples
The following example illustrates how the user Joe Smith ("jsmith") can use the rlogin ? help command and the debug command mode to establish and troubleshoot a remote connection to the host Alviso:

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to define which of the sources for local usernames are valid.
The rlogin protocol passes three types of information: the remote username, the local username, and the local hostname of the router. The rlogin trusted-localuser-source command allows you to configure one of three behaviors for making connections to the rlogin server, as follows:
Examples
The following example uses the local username from RADIUS authentication:
router# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. router(config)# rlogin trusted-localuser-source ? local Use local username from any authentication method radius Use local username from radius authentication tacacs Use local username from tacacs authentication router(config)# rlogin trusted-localuser-source radius

Usage Guidelines
The current username is used only if the rlogin host /user username command is not enabled. If the current username is not known, rlogin falls back to providing the "login:" prompt to discover a remote username.
![]() |
Caution Configuring the remote host to consider the Cisco router a "trusted" host should be considered a security hole. |
Examples
After you issue the rlogin trusted-remoteuser-source local command, you will not be prompted for a username. The first response you see is the password prompt from the remote system. For example, when this command is not enabled, you must enter your username twice (once at initial system login and once for the rlogin command).
User Access Verification Username: gmcmilla Password: xxxxx router> rlogin puli Trying puli.cisco.com (170.69.3.154)... Open login: gmcmilla Password: xxxxx
After you issue the rlogin trusted-remoteuser-source local command, you no longer have to specify the username after the rlogin command. The username is automatically copied from the router's user ID.

Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
Typically, rotary groups are used on devices with multiple modem connections to allow connections to the next free line in a hunt group.
Connections to a rotary group can take advantage of the following features:
The remote host must specify a particular TCP port on the router to connect to a rotary group with connections to an individual line. The available services are the same, but the TCP port numbers are different. Table 25 lists the services and port numbers for both rotary groups and individual lines.
| Services Provided | Base TCP Port for Rotaries | Base TCP Port for Individual Lines |
|---|---|---|
Telnet protocol | 3000 | 2000 |
Raw TCP protocol (no | 5000 | 4000 |
Telnet protocol, binary mode | 7000 | 6000 |
XRemote protocol | 10000 | 9000 |
For example, if Telnet protocols are required, the remote host connects to the TCP port numbered 3000 (decimal) plus the rotary group number. If the rotary group identifier is 13, the corresponding TCP port is 3013.
If a raw TCP stream is required, the port is 5000 (decimal) plus the rotary group number. If rotary group 5 includes a raw TCP (printer) line, the user connects to port 5005 and is connected to one of the raw printers in the group.
If Telnet binary mode is required, the port is 7000 (decimal) plus the rotary group number.
Examples
The following example establishes a rotary group consisting of virtual terminal lines 2 through 4 and defines a password on those lines. By using Telnet to connect to TCP port 3001, the user gets the next free line in the rotary group. The user does not have to remember the range of line numbers associated with the password.
line vty 2 4 rotary 1 password letmein login

Usage Guidelines
If the dialer pool or dialer rotary group that the VPDN group is in contains physical interfaces, the physical interfaces will be used before the VPDN group.
You must first enable the protocol l2tp command on the request-dialout VPDN subgroup before you can enable the rotary-group command. Removing the protocol l2tp command will remove the rotary-group command from the request-dialout subgroup.
You can only configure one dialer profile pool (using the pool-member command) or dialer rotary group (using the rotary-group command). If you attempt to configure a second dialer resource, you will replace the first dialer resource in the configuration.
Examples
The following example configures VPDN group 1 to request L2TP dialout to IP address 172.5.4.6 using dialer profile pool 1 and identifying itself using the local name harold.

Command History
10.0 This command was introduced.
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
This command provides an asynchronous handshake to a user or device that activates the line. It can be activated by several events, such as a user issuing a carriage return on a vacant line, by a modem on the line sensing an incoming carrier, or an asynchronous device (such as another router) sending data. Each time an EXEC session is started on a line, the system checks to see if a script activation command is configured on the line. If so, and the regexp argument (a regular expression) matches an existing chat script name, the matched script is run on the line. For more information about regular expressions, see the "Regular Expressions" appendix in this document.
The script activation command can mimic a login handshake of another system. For example, a system that dials into a line on a router and expects an IBM mainframe login handshake can be satisfied with an appropriate activation script.
This command also can send strings to asynchronous devices that are connecting or dialing into a router.
The script activation command functions only on physical terminal (TTY) lines. It does not function on virtual terminal lines.
Examples
The following example specifies that the chat script with a name that includes "telebit" will be activated whenever line 4 is activated:
line 4 script activation telebit

Command
Description
To define a named stack group and make this router a member of that stack group, use the sgbp group command in global configuration mode.
sgbp group name
Syntax Description
name Name of the stack group the system belongs to.
Defaults
Disabled. No stack group name is provided.

Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
Define the same stack group name across all the stack members.
Examples
The following example makes this system a member of the stack group named stackq:
sgbp group stackq
Related Commands
Specifies the host name and IP address of a router or access server that is a peer member of a stack group. Sets the bidding level that a stack group member can be used to bid for a bundle.
Command
Description
To specify the host name and IP address of a router or access server that is a peer member of a stack group, use the sgbp member command in global configuration mode.
sgbp member peer-name [peer-ip-address]
Syntax Description
peer-name Host name of the peer member. peer-ip-address (Optional) IP address of the peer member. If the domain name system (DNS) can perform a lookup on the peer-name value, the IP address is not required. Otherwise, it must be specified.
Defaults
Disabled. When enabled, names and IP addresses of peer routers or access servers in the stack group are not provided.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to specify the names of peer hosts (other hosts, not the one being configured) in the specified stack group after you have entered the sgbp dial-bids command.
Examples
The following example configures the current router to recognize the three routers (jimi, janis, and jerry) as peer members of the rockstar stack group:
sgbp group rockstar sgbp member jimi 10.69.5.2 sgbp member janis 172.16.6.3 sgbp member jerry 192.165.15.4
Related Commands
Defines a named stack group and makes this router a member of that stack group. Sets the bidding level that a stack group member can be used to bid for a bundle.
Command
Description
To enable forwarding of PPP calls---in addition to Multilink PPP (MLP) calls---to the winner of the Stack Group Bidding Protocol (SGBP) bid, use the sgbp ppp-forward command in global configuration mode.
sgbp ppp-forwardSyntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Defaults
This command is disabled by default.
Command Modes

Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
When this command is enabled, both PPP and multilink PPP calls are projected to the winner of the SGBP bid. By default, only Multilink PPP calls are forwarded.
Examples
The following partial example enables forwarding of PPP calls, as well as MLP calls, to the winner of the SGBP bidding:
sgbp ppp-forward
Related Commands
Specifies the host name and IP address of a router or access server that is a peer member of a stack group. Sets the bidding level that a stack group member can be used to bid for a bundle.
Command
Description
To set the bidding level that a stack group member can bid with for a bundle, use the sgbp seed-bid command in global configuration mode.
sgbp seed-bid {default | offload | forward-only | bid}
Syntax Description
default If set across all members of a stack group, indicates that the member which receives the first call for a certain user always wins the bid and hosts the master bundle interface. All subsequent calls to the same user received by another stack group member will project to this stackgroup member. This is the default. offload Indicates that this router is a relatively higher powered stack group member, is to function as an offload server, and host the master bundle interface. forward-only Indicates that this router or access server is to forward calls to another system and never wins the bid to host a master interface. This router or access server should hang up---instead of answering a call---if all the offload servers are down. bid Bid level, an integer in the range 0 through 9999.
Defaults
The default keyword; no bid-level integer value is set.

Usage Guidelines
In the case of equivalent stack group members stacked to receive calls in a rotary group across multiple PRIs, use the sgbp seed-bid default across all stack members command. The stack member that receives the first call for a certain user always wins the bid and hosts the master bundle interface. All subsequent calls to the same user received by another stack member will project to this stack member. If the multiple calls come in concurrently over multiple stack members, the SGBP tie-breaking mechanism will break the tie.
To leverage the relative higher power of one stack member over another, you can set the designated stack member (of higher CPU power) as offload server with the sgbp seed-bid offload command. The bid that is sent is the precalibrated per-platform bid approximating the CPU power, minus the bundle load. In this case, the offload server hosts the master bundle. All calls from other stack members get projected to this stack member. One or more offload servers can be defined---if the bids are equal, the SGBP tie-breaking mechanism will break the tie.
The interfaces that received the calls are projected to the master bundle interface and are considered children of the master bundle interface for the call. See the output of the show ppp multilink command for an example of master bundle interface (shown as "Master link") and the children of it.
You can also manually designate bid values with the sgbp seed-bid command. This value overrides the default or offload setting. The bid sent out is the user-configured value minus the bundle load. The bundle load is defined as the number of active bundles on the stack member. In effect, the more current active bundles on a router, the lower its bid for an additional bundle.
If you have assorted or exactly the same platforms and for some reason want to designate one or more as offload servers, you can manually set the bid value to be significantly higher than the rest. For example, you might use the sgbp seed-bid 9999 command. To determine the initial bid value associated with your particular platform, use the show sgbp command. This method allows you to manually designate the bid values when you have assorted platforms and want to designate one or more platforms as offload servers; for example, one Cisco 4700 (given the highest seed-bid), two Cisco 4000s and one Cisco 7000.
To check the bid value currently assigned on the system, use the show sgbp queries command.
