The PPP settings are described in the sections that follow. (For information
about E1 and T1 interface settings, see Chapter 4: Configuring E1 and T1
Interfaces. For information about serial interface settings, see Chapter 5:
Configuring Serial Interfaces for E1- and T1-Carrier Lines.)

Configuring an IP Address for the WAN Connection

You configure the IP address for the E1 or T1 WAN connection on the PPP
interface rather than on the physical interface. There are several ways to
assign an IP address to the PPP interface:
assign a static IP address
configure the PPP interface to negotiate an IP address with its PPP peer
configure the PPP interface as an unnumbered interface
If the PPP interface is part of a bridge and IP routing is disabled, you can
configure the PPP interface as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) client.
Configure a Static IP Address. To assign the PPP interface a static IP
address, enter the following command from the PPP interface configuration
mode context:
Syntax: ip address <A.B.C.D> <subnet mask | /prefix length>
For example, you might enter:
ProCurve(config-ppp 1)# ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.252
For subnet mask, you can enter the complete subnet mask or the classless
inter-domain routing (CIDR) notation. For example, you might enter:
ProCurve(config-ppp 1)# ip address 10.1.1.1 /30
Configure a Negotiated IP Address. If you are using your WAN connec-
tion for Internet access, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) may want you to
configure the PPP interface so that it negotiates the IP address with the ISP's
router. From the PPP interface configuration mode context, enter:
Syntax: ip address negotiated [no-default]
Include the no-default option if you do not want the router to accept a default
route from the PPP peer that is providing the IP address.
