The Access Server software supports two models for the utilization of SLIP:
the single-node model and the network model. Single-node SLIP
applications include:
•
Connecting a remote (dial-in) Workstation or PC to the network. This is
a typical single node application.
•
Connecting a host, workstation, or PC directly to the network through a
connection to a serial port. (This single-node application usually
requires "null-modem" cables.)
In the single-node model, a node is an intelligent device such as a PC,
workstation, etc. Each node connected to an access server has a unique
Internet address.
Using the network model, one connects a remote network to the local
network through a serial port. In this application, the port functions as a
simple static router connecting two networks.
In the network model, a network is a collection of internet nodes, each with
a different internet address. Data communicated over the SLIP link is
forwarded to a remote network. As shown in Figure 6, an access server
passes data from the SLIP link to another local area network.
