3 Configuration commands Interface commands
NN47928-107 53
interface ppp
Use this command to configure the BSGX4e to use a PPP link as its primary
WAN interface. To use a PPP link, PPP parameters must be stored as a PPP
profile; when activated, the profile directs the activity of the PPP client in
the BSGX4e.
The PPP client supports a single PPP session (ppp0) and is compliant with
RFC 2516 (PPPoE).
Note: On the BSGX4e, DHCP service must be disabled for the eth0
interface. (Use the command config interface ip eth0 dhcp off). See
interface ip on page 52
for more information.
Traffic through the ppp0 interface is controlled by the security policies for
the interface. Security policy configuration is described in Security
commands on page 111.
Syntax config interface ppp 0 l2interface [eth0] active [no|yes]
authproto [PAP|CHAP|MSCHAPV1|MSCHAPV2] selfip <ip address> mtu
<bytes> mru <bytes> restarttime <ms> servicename <string> user
<string> password <password>
Parameters l2interface eth0
Specify the layer 2 interface. Use eth0 for the
BSGX4e.
active no|yes Specify yes to activate the profile. Specify no to
de-activate the profile. (A profile must be
activated to enable PPP link negotiation; the
profile must be de-activated before it can be
modified.) The default is no.
authproto PAP|CHAP|MSCHAPV1|MSCHAPV2
Specify an authentication protocol. The default
is PAP.
selfip ip address Enter an optional static IP address for the ppp0
interface.
mtu bytes Enter the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
of the interface (296-1492 bytes). The default is
1492 bytes.
mru bytes Enter the Maximum Receive Unit (MRU) of the
interface (296-1492 bytes). The default is 1492
bytes.
restarttime ms Enter the Time interval before a request is re-
sent (in milliseconds). The default is 3000 (3
seconds).
servicename string
Enter a service name (up to 30 characters) if
required by the Internet Service Provider (ISP).
The ISP determines the valid values.
