- ppp
-
-
- The 'ppp' commands are used for Point to Point Protocol
- interfaces.
-
- This implementation of PPP is designed to be as complete as
- possible. Because of this, the number of options can be rather
- daunting. However, a typical PPP configuration might include the
- following commands:
-
- attach asy 0x3f8 4 ppp pp0 4096 1500 9600
- dial pp0 30 <host> 3 dialer.pp0
- #
- ppp pp0 lcp local accm 0
- ppp pp0 lcp local compress address on
- ppp pp0 lcp local compress protocol on
- ppp pp0 lcp local magic on
- ppp pp0 lcp open active
- #
- ppp pp0 ipcp local compress tcp 16 1
- ppp pp0 ipcp open active
- #
- route add default pp0
-
- ppp <interface>
- Display the status of the PPP interface.
-
-
- The following commands are used for the LCP (Link Control
- Protocol) configuration.
-
- ppp <interface> lcp close
- Shutdown the PPP interface.
-
-
- ppp <interface> lcp local ...
- The 'lcp local' commands control the configuration of the local
- side of the link. If an option is specified, the parameters will
- be used as the initial values in configuration requests. If not
- specified, that option will not be requested.
-
- For each of these options, the 'allow' parameter will permit the
- remote host to include that option in its response, even when the
- option is not included in the request. By default, all options
- are allowed.
-
-
- ppp <interface> lcp local accm [ <bitmap> | allow [on | off] ]
- Display or set the ACCM (Async Control Character Map). The
- default is 0xffffffff.
-
-
- ppp <interface> lcp local authenticate [ pap | none | allow [on | off] ]
- Display or set the authentication protocol. The default is none.
-
-
- ppp <interface> lcp local compress address/control [ on | off | allow
- [on | off] ]
- Display or set the option to compress the address and control
- fields of the PPP HLDC-like header. This is generally desirable
- for slow asynchronous links, and undesirable for fast or
- synchronous links. The default is off.
-
-
- ppp <interface> lcp local compress protocol
- [ on | off | allow [on|off]]
- Display or set the option to compress the protocol field of the
- PPP HLDC-like header. This is generally desirable for slow
- asynchronous links, and undesirable for fast or synchronous
- links. The default is off.
-
-
- ppp <interface> lcp local magic [ on | off | <value> | allow [on|off] ]
- Display or set the initial Magic Number. The default is off
-
-
- ppp <interface> lcp local mru [ <size> | allow [on | off] ]
- Display or set the Maximum Receive Unit. The default is 1500.
-
-
- ppp <interface> lcp local default
- Reset the options to their default values.
-
-
- ppp <interface> lcp open active | passive
- Wait for the physical layer to come up. If 'active', initiate
- configuration negotiation. If 'passive', wait for configuration
- negotiation from the remote.
-
-
- ppp <interface> lcp remote ...
- The 'lcp remote' commands control the configuration of the remote
- side of the link. The options are identical to those of the
- local side.
-
- If an option is specified, the parameters will be used in
- responses to the remote's configuration requests.
-
- If not specified, that option will be accepted if it is allowed.
-
- For each of these options, the 'allow' parameter will permit the
- remote to specify that option in its request.
-
- By default, all options are allowed.
-
-
- ppp <interface> lcp timeout [<seconds>] Default: 3
- Display or set the interval to wait between configuration or
- termination attempts.
-
-
- ppp <interface> lcp try ...
- The 'lcp try' commands are used for the various counters.
-
-
- ppp <interface> lcp try configure [<count>] Default: 10
- Display or set the number of configuration requests sent.
-
-
- ppp <interface> lcp try failure [<count>] Default: 5
- Display or set the number of bad configuration requests allowed
- from the remote.
-
-
- ppp <interface> lcp try terminate [<count>] Default: 2
- Display or set the number of termination requests sent before
- shutdown.
-
-
- ppp <interface> ipcp ...
- The 'ipcp' commands are used for the Internet Protocol Control
- Protocol configuration.
-
- The 'close', 'open', 'timeout' and 'try' sub-commands are
- identical to the LCP (described above).
-
-
- ppp <interface> ipcp local ...
- The 'ipcp local' commands control the configuration of the local
- side of the link. If an option is specified, the parameters will
- be used as the initial values in configuration requests. If not
- specified, that option will not be requested.
-
- For each of these options, the 'allow' parameter will permit the
- remote to include that option in its response, even when the
- option is not included in the request. By default, all options
- are allowed.
-
-
- ppp <interface> ipcp local address [ <hostid> | allow [on | off] ]
- Display or set the local address for negotiation purposes. If an
- address of 0 is specified, the other side of the link will supply
- the address. By default, no addresses are negotiated.
-
-
- ppp <interface> ipcp local compress [ tcp <slots>
- [<flag>] | none | allow [on | off] ]
- Display or set the compression protocol. The default is none.
-
- The tcp <slots> specifies the number of "conversation" slots,
- which must be 1 to 255. (This may be limited at compilation time
- to a smaller number.) A good choice is in the range 4 to 16.
-
- The tcp <flag> is 0 (don't compress the slot number) or 1 (OK to
- compress the slot number). KA9Q NOS can handle compressed slot
- numbers, so the default is 1.
-
-
- ppp <interface> ipcp remote ...
- The 'ipcp remote' commands control the configuration of the
- remote side of the link. The options are identical to those of
- the local side. If an option is specified, the parameters will
- be used in responses to the remote's configuration requests. If
- not specified, that option will be accepted if it is allowed.
- For each of these options, the 'allow' parameter will permit the
- remote to specify that option in its request. By default, all
- options are allowed.
-
-
- ppp <iface> pap ...
- The 'pap' commands are used for the Password Authentication
- Protocol configuration.
-
- The 'timeout' and 'try' sub-commands are identical to the LCP
- (described above). However, the terminate counter is unused.
-
-
- ppp <interface> pap user [ <username> [<password>] ]
- Display or set the <username>.
-
- The <password> may also be set, but not displayed.
-
- When <username> is specified, but no password is supplied, the
- FTPUSERS file is searched for the password. When a username-
- password pair is unknown or rejected, a session will appear at
- the console to prompt for a new username-password.
-
-
- ppp <interface> trace [<flags>]
- Display or set the flags that control the logging of information
- during PPP link configuration.
-
- The flag values are:
-
- 0: No trace
- 1: Basic trace
- 2: General trace
-
- Values greater than 2 are usually not compiled, and are described
- in the appropriate source files where they are defined.
