Remote Access Using NIASCFG

NIASCFG enables you to configure and check the status and statistics of Novell Internet Access Server remote access, protocols, and routing. NIASCFG also enables you to use the various Novell Internet Access Server 4.1 console utilities from the NetWare® server console or by using RCONSOLE.

To launch NIASCFG, enter load niascfg at the NetWare server console. The NIASCFG main menu offers the following four options.

NIASCFG offers access to console utilities in much the same way as INETCFG did previously with a few exceptions. Most notably, after launching NIASCFG, you can view status or use a console utility, but you cannot allow a utility to continue to run while you check other screens. If you launch a console utility from NIASCFG, you have to exit that utility before doing anything else.


The Configure NIAS Option

After you select Configure NIAS, select Remote Access, Protocols and Routing, or Virtual Private Network. Then select a component to configure from the displayed list. The Remote Access Options are listed below.

Refer to Setting Up for the configuration procedures. For information about using the Set Up option to set parameters to simplify remote access management, refer to Modifying Set Up Parameters for Remote Access Management.


The View Status for NIAS Option

You can monitor remote access from the View Status for NIAS option. For more information, refer to the individual management procedures:
