Backup WAN Links
Enterprise Edge supports Microsoft Point-to-Point Compression (MPPC), RFC
2118 for traffic across dial-up links. The compression ratio of MPPC is
approximately 4-5 to 1.
For the remote backup, Enterprise Edge supports the following authentication
mechanisms:
• Password Authentication Protocol (PAP)
• Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is a more secure
procedure for connecting to a system than the PAP. The system attempts CHAP
before using PAP.
Software data compression on backup/dial up link is an optional feature in
Enterprise Edge. The default is set to ENABLE data compression.
Note: Remote user dial in as a RAS client is supported for administrative purposes
only.
Guidelines for Using Remote Dial In
Consider the following guidelines when using remote dial in:
• The same modem is shared between the remote dial-in for administration and
the backup WAN link. If a remote administration user is connected while the
primary link breaks, the automatic backup function does not occur.
• While using back up interface, Enterprise Edge always calls. Enterprise Edge
does not answer an incoming call from a router.
• Support for callback configuration is not provided.
