v The client configuration controls the suspension and resumption of a VC. The
DIALs server cannot control that aspect of the connection.
v A VC can be established through an MP bundle.
v VCs cannot run over L2TP.
v Suspended VCs cannot be displayed with current network management tools.
v Do not assign an IP address to remote users by interface. Because another
client could use an interface with which a client establishes a VC, when the VC
attempts to reconnect with the server the connection will fail because the IP
address is in use.
v A dial-in client must use SPAP for authentication.
Configuring a VC
Configure VCs when you add a DIALs client at the Config> prompt. When you
configure the user, you can either use the DIALs dial-in defaults (see the set DIALs
command in the
Using and Configuring Features
) for the maximum suspend time
and inactivity timeout, or configure specific values for the particular client. The
following example shows the minimum configuration for a VC for DIALs dial-in client
“jose.”

To display the box-level default values for maximum virtual connections, idle timeout
period, and the global default maximum suspend time, use the DIALs config>list
vc-parameters command in the DIALs feature. To display these parameters along
with the maximum suspend time and inactivity timeout for all virtual connections,
use the list all command in the DIALs feature. See “DIALs Global Monitoring
Commands” in
Using and Configuring Features
.
