NCP. PPP uses an NCP to enable the exchange of Network Layer protocols—
such as IP—across a WAN link. As Figure 6-2 shows, there is a specific NCP
for each support Network Layer protocol. For example, the NCP for IP is IP
Control Protocol (IPCP), and the NCP for IPX (which is a legacy Novell
NetWare protocol) is IPX Control Protocol (IPXCP).
The ProCurve Secure Router supports the following NCPs:
IP Control Protocol (IPCP)
Bridging Control Protocol (BCP)
Link-Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) Control Protocol (LLDPCP)
In order to exchange Network Layer protocols, the NCP must be in an
"opened" state.
PPP. PPP frames carry the actual information being transferred over the WAN
link. In PPP terminology, this information is called a datagram.
After the two peers successfully exchange LCP frames, authenticate the link
(if authentication is configured), and negotiate the Network Layer protocol,
a PPP session is established. The peers can then exchange PPP datagrams.

Creating a PPP Interface on the ProCurve Secure Router

To begin configuring PPP for an E1, T1, or serial interface, you must create a
logical interface. From the global configuration mode context, enter:
Syntax: interface <interface> <number>
Replace <interface> with ppp and replace <number> with any number
between 1 and 1024. Each PPP interface you configure on the router must have
a unique number.
For example, if you are configuring the first PPP interface on the router, enter:
ProCurve(config)# interface ppp 1
The router prompt indicates that you have entered the PPP 1 interface
configuration mode context:
ProCurve(config-ppp 1)#
You can enter the help command to display the commands available from
?
this configuration mode context.
ProCurve(config-ppp 1)# ?
