PPP configuration task list
To configure PPP, perform the following tasks:
•

Creating an IP interface for PPP

• Configuring for IP address auto-configuration from PPP (see
• Creating a PPP subscriber (for authentication) (see
• Configuring a PPPoE session (see
• Configuring a serial port for PPP (see
• Creating a PPP interface within the CS context (not currently available)
• Creating a PSTN interface for PPP dial-in/dial-out (not currently available)
• Creating a PPP profile (see
• Displaying PPP configuration information (see
• Debugging PPP (see
Creating an IP interface for PPP
An IP interface is required to link a PPP connection to the IP context. The IP interface must apply a network
address port translation (NAPT) if the PPP service provider only offers a single IP address and not an IP sub-
net, or if the IP addresses on the LAN shall be private and hidden behind a public IP address (see 11,
NAPT configuration" on page 122 for more information about NAPT).
This procedure describes how to create an IP interface for PPP

Creates the new interface name , which repre-
sents an IP interface.
Only defines what route is entered into the IP
routing table:
point-to-point: A route to the IP address of
•
the PPP interface (assigned by the PPP peer)
is entered into the routing table.
no point-to-point: A route to the subnet
•
defined by IP address of the PPP interface
(assigned by the PPP peer) is entered into
the routing table. The class of the IP address
determines the size of the subset.
Recommendation: Use 'point-to-point' and spec-
ify a default route.
