Creating A Ppp Profile - Patton electronics SmartNode Series Software Configuration Manual

SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
Example: Configure a serial port for PPP
The procedure below configures the serial port for a leased-line connection to an Internet Service Provider
using the credentials specified in the subscriber profile above.
SN(cfg)#port serial 0 0
SN(prt-ser)[0/0]#encapsulation ppp
SN(prt-ser)[0/0]#bind subscriber joe_example
SN(prt-ser)[0/0]#no shutdown
Creating a PPP profile
A PPP profile allows to adjust additional PPP parameters like the maximum transmit unit (MTU) and maxi-
mum receive unit (MRU). Only the most important parameters are listed here.
The profile 'default' is always present and supplies the parameters if no other profile has been created or no pro-
file can be used with a certain type of PPP connection. Profiles created by the user can only be used with PPP
over Ethernet connections. For all other types of PPP connections the default profile applies.
This procedure describes how to create a PPP profile or to modify the default PPP profile
Mode: Configure
Step
1 node (cfg) #[no] profile ppp { name |
default }
2 node (pf-ppp)[name]#mtu min min max
(optional) max
3 node (pf-ppp)[name]#mru min min max
(optional) max
PPP configuration task list
Command
21 • PPP configuration
Purpose
Creates the new PPP profile name and enters
the PPP profile configuration. The profile
'default' already exists.
Defines the minimum and maximum size of IP
packets (in Bytes) allowed on the outbound PPP
connection. Outbound packets larger than the
maximum size are fragmented into smaller
ones if allowed.
The default value is 1492 Bytes.
On the IP interface over which the PPP connec-
tion runs, the minimum of the IP interface MTU
and PPP MTU applies.
Defines the minimum and maximum size of IP
packets (in Bytes) allowed on the inbound PPP
connection. The default value is 1492 Bytes.
Inbound packets larger than the maximum size
are fragmented into smaller ones if allowed.
The default value is 1492 Bytes.
