View This command can be used in the following views:
■ Interface view
Description When an interface is encapsulated with PPP, but not configured with authentication
and IP address, perform the following task to configure the negotiable attribute of IP
address for this interface (configuring the
ip address ppp-negotiate
command on local router), and configure the
remote address command on the
peer router, so that the local interface can accept the IP address originated from PPP
negotiation. This IP address is assigned by the opposite end. This configuration is
mainly used to obtain IP address assigned by ISP when accessing Internet via ISP.
CAUTION: This command does not forbid the peer to configure IP address itself. To
forbid the peer to configure IP address itself, you must configure the ppp ipcp
remote-address forced
command.
Use this command only when PPP authentication is not configured, and be sure to
specify a global address pool.
