Can a Router act as a RAS client to a Server ???

[renzil]

Hi,

Don't know whether this is possible but wanted to check whether a router can dial to a NT RAS server ( Server has external modems connected to accept dial-in clients )

Thanks

Yes, a router with internal or external modems can dial *OUT* to another RAS. From the NT RASes perspective it’s another modem that’s trying to connect it & from the routers perspective it’s an individual modem (internal or external) that’s trying to call out.

Is there any sample config on cisco.com referring to the above specific secnario ?

Internal digital modems calling OUT:

NM-AM calling out:

NOTE, this config is for the router to call out as if it's an individual modem calling out. We need to match parameters such as authentication type pap/chap , username/password credentials as per the requirement on the NT RAS that's acting as an Access server now (terminating the calls)

Thanks, Mak
