Configure Serial Port Settings
18 Chapter 1 Command Line Configuration Tasks
3. To configure the baud rate for this connection, enter:
#> set line range=range baud=bps
where range is the port or ports to configure and bps is the line speed in
bits-per-second. Typically, you can set this to 115000 bps for modem
connections. For example:
#> set line range=3 baud=115000
4. To create an inbound PPP user, enter:
#> set user name=name protocol=ppp netservice=on defaultaccess=netservice
where name is a name to assign to the PPP user. For example:
#> set user name=pppin protocol=ppp netservice=on defaultaccess=netservice
5. To configure an IP address for the remote PPP user, enter:
#> set user name=name ipaddr=ip address
where name is the user’s name, and ip address is one of the following:
• A standard IP address in dotted decimal format.
• 0.0.0.0, which means the remote user will supply the IP address.
• The keyword “ippool,” which means the user will be assigned an IP
address from an IP address pool. See "set ippool" on page 146.
For example:
#> set user name=pppin ipaddr=ippool
6. If you used the IP address pool option in the previous step, specify the
following subnetwork mask (a mask of 255.255.255.255 is required) by
entering:
#> set user ipmask=255.255.255.255
7. To configure an IP address for the local end of the PPP connection,
enter:
#> set user name=name localipaddr=ip address
where name is the user’s name and ip address is the IP address to
assign to the local end of the PPP connection. This address must be
unique. That is, no other user can be assigned this address and it
cannot be the IP address for the Ethernet interface. For example:
#> set user name=pppin localipadr=199.1.1.2
Example
This example shows a very simple PPP inbound configuration where:
• The port is set up for inbound connections (dev=min).
• RTS and CTS are used for flow control.
• The baud rate has been set to 115000 bps.
• The user has been configured to use an IP address pool.
#> set ports range=3 device=min
#> set flow range=3 ixon=off ixoff=off rts=on cts=on
#> set line range=3 baud=115000
#> set user name=pppin protocol=ppp netservice=on defaultaccess=netservice
#> set user name=pppin ipaddr=ippool
#> set user name=pppin localipadr=199.1.1.2
