Value
Configures the communication mode for the
serial port. The default is American Standard
Code for Information Interchange (ASCII).
If you are configuring the modem port, you can
configure the port to use either the SLIP or the
PPP communication mode.
To configure this option to the default value, use
the default operator with the command.
Configures the size of the maximum transmission
unit for a PPP link (0–2048). The default is 0. To
configure this option to the default value, use the

Configures the IP address for the server side,
the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600, of

Configures the peer (PC) IP address on the
point-to-point link. The default is 0.0.0.0. The

properties to obtain an IP address automatically.
If the client uses a static IP address, the Nortel
Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 accepts this
address. If you use Password Authentication
Protocol (PAP) authentication, you must ensure
that the client uses the correct IP address. To
configure this option to the default value, use the
default operator with the command.
Specifies the PPP configuration file to provide
details for authentication and other options to
include during the boot procedure of the switch.
