Configuration Parameters
Book C
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 Annex uses its own Ethernet
address plus 1.
ppp_mru
This asynchronous port parameter defines the maximum receive unit
(MRU) that the Annex requests as its local MRU. If NAKed and the
remote hint is less than this value, the Annex accepts the hint; otherwise,
the Annex requests the PPP default (1500). Values range from 64 to 1500.
The default is 1500.
ppp_ncp
This asynchronous port parameter specifies the PPP network control
protocols that run on the interface. The Annex negotiates for these
protocols only. Valid protocol settings are one or more of the following:
ipcp (Internet Protocol Control Protocol), atcp (AppleTalk Control
Protocol), ipxcp (Internet Packet Exchange Control Protocol), mp
(Multilink PPP), and ccp. Separate multiple protocols with commas. You
can also specify all to indicate all of the protocols, which is the default.
For information on Multilink PPP, see the Multilink PPP Addendum.
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
Annex displays this parameter's value as "<set>" or "<unset>." The
default is "<unset>."
