Configuring Port Authentication - Netopia 2200 series Software User's Manual

set ppp module [vccn] configure-max integer
Specifies the maximum number of unacknowledged configuration requests that your Neto-
pia Gateway will send. The integer argument can be any number between 1 and 20.
set ppp module [vccn] terminate-max integer
Specifies the maximum number of unacknowledged termination requests that your Netopia
Gateway will send before terminating the PPP link. The integer argument can be any num-
ber between 1 and 10.
set ppp module [vccn] restart-timer integer
Specifies the number of seconds the Netopia Gateway should wait before retransmitting a
configuration or termination request. The integer argument can be any number between 1
and 30.
set ppp module [vccn] connection-type
{ instant-on | always-on }
Specifies whether a PPP connection is maintained by the Netopia Gateway when it is
unused for extended periods. If you specify always-on, the Netopia Gateway never shuts
down the PPP link. If you specify instant-on, the Netopia Gateway shuts down the PPP
link after the number of seconds specified in the time-out setting (below) if no traffic is
moving over the circuit.
set ppp module [vccn] time-out integer
If you specified a connection type of instant-on, specifies the number of seconds, in the
range 30 - 3600, with a default value of 300, the Netopia Gateway should wait for commu-
nication activity before terminating the PPP link.
Configuring Port Authentication. You can use the following command to specify how

remote peer.
The settings for port authentication on the local Netopia Gateway must match the authenti-

authentication and has a name and CHAP secret for the Netopia Gateway, you must enable
