Re: (ASCEND) Lots of routing entrys in a Pipeline

You could define a RADIUS user profile with several "Ascend-Private-Route"
entries or
Ascend-Framed-Route.

Here is an example RADIUS user profile for a RADIUS authenticated user who needs
a 32-IP subnet put into the Max that receives the call, and since we run RIP, we
announce this route via RIPv2 to the rest of our LAN:

userid   Password = "UNIX"
        User-Service-Type = Framed-User,
        Framed-Protocol = PPP,
        Framed-Address = 206.64.128.9,
        Framed-Netmask = 255.255.255.255,
        Framed-Routing = None,
        Framed-Route = "209.217.207.32/27 206.64.128.248 1 n userid 60",
        Framed-MTU = 1500

I don't know if the DSL Pipe can support RADIUS authenticated users however, so
this information might be useless.

Alternatively, if the DSL Pipe supports the RADIUS loading of static routes,
there's a section in the docs about specifying a route based on the SysName of
the unit.  In other words, you would add a pseudo user profile in your RADIUS
users file, named something like dslpipe-route and in this profile, you would
specify a bunch of Ascend-Framed-Route entries.  It would be loaded from the
RADIUS server on bootup of the DSL Pipe.  Again, I don't know if the DSL Pipe
supports RADIUS, or even this feature.  It's something to check out in the docs.

I wouldn't recommend enabling RIP _across_ the DSL connection between you and
the other ISP.  If you start receiving RIP-announced routes from your neighbor
ISP, and they accidentally screw up a route that is announced by RIP on their
LAN, you will suddenly begin to route towards the other ISP.  This could open
you up to a lot of problems

Can Ascend comment on RADIUS authentication for the DSL Pipe?

I know RADIUS auth isn't available in the Pipeline 50 U-BRI ver 6.1.7 load
b2a.p75 ...  So perhaps it isn't available in the DSL Pipe.
