Ppp_Mru; Ppp_Ncp; Ppp_Password_Remote; Ppp_Security_Protocol - Bay Networks 5390 Administering

Configuration Parameters
For example, the Appletalk multicast address is 090007000000, of which the first octet (09) is
00001001 in binary; the last 1 in the address is the multicast indicator.
If the client suggests any valid value for the node number, that number will be used instead of the
ppp_ipx_node value.
This parameter is overridden by the network number in the remote address field of the acp_dialup
file, if that field is configured correctly. If the node number is not set in acp_dialup or through the
ppp_ipx_node parameter, and no value is suggested by the client, the Model 5390 server uses its
own Ethernet address plus one (1).

ppp_mru

This asynchronous port parameter defines the maximum receive unit (MRU) that the Model 5390
server requests as its local MRU. If NAKed and the remote hint is less than this value, the Model
5390 server accepts the hint; otherwise, the Model 5390 server requests the PPP default (1500).
Values range from 64 to 1500. The default is 1500.

ppp_ncp

This asynchronous port parameter specifies the protocols that run on the interface. The Model 5390
server negotiates only for those protocols that are specified here. Valid options are ipcp (Internet
Protocol Control Protocol), atcp (AppleTalk Control Protocol), ipxcp (Internet Packet Exchange
Control Protocol), or all. The default is all.

ppp_password_remote

This asynchronous port parameter defines a PPP port user's password. The string size ranges from
0 to 16 characters. For security reasons, the Model 5390 server displays this parameter's value as
"<set>" or "<unset>." The default is "<unset>."

ppp_security_protocol

This asynchronous port parameter defines the security check for the peer that the Model 5390 server
requires before starting the network control protocol. If the Model 5390 server wants to use security
and the peer refuses, the Model 5390 server closes the link. Valid options are chap
(challenge-handshake protocol), pap (password authentication protocol), chap-pap, and none. The
default is none.
