alias link<“text”>
Each configured PPP interface (when referenced using SNMP) contains a link (physical port) and a bundle
(group of links). RFC 1471 (for Link Connection Protocol) provides an interface table to manage lists of
bundles and associated links. The alias link command provides the management station an identifying
description for each link (PPP physical).
Syntax Description
<“text”> Alphanumeric character string describing the interface (for SNMP) — must be
encased in quotation marks
Default Values
<“text”> “” (EMPTY)
Command Modes
(config-ppp 1)# PPP Interface Configuration Mode required
Functional Notes
The alias link string should be used to uniquely identify a PPP link. Enter a string that clearly identifies the
link.
Usage Examples
The following example defines a unique character string for the virtual PPP interface (1):
(config)#interface ppp 1
(config-ppp 1)#alias link “PPP_link_1”
Technology Review
Please refer to RFC 1990 for a more detailed discussion on PPP links and bundles.
