mru mru-size Set LCP Maximum Receive Unit value to mru-size for negotiation. The default
is 1500 for PPP and 1006 for SLIP.
nomru Disable LCP Maximum Receive Unit negotiation, and use 1500 for our interface.
active Begin LCP parameter negotiation immediately (the default).
passive Do not send our first LCP packet until we receive an LCP packet from the peer.
timeout restart-time Set the LCP, IPCP, CCP, PAP, and CHAP option negotiation restart timers to
restart-time (default 3 seconds).
lqrinterval time Send Link-Quality-Reports or Echo-Requests every time seconds (default 10
seconds). If the peer responds with a Protocol-Reject, send LCP Echo-Requests
every time seconds instead, and use the received LCP Echo-Replies for link
status policy decisions.
lqthreshold min/per Set a minimum standard for link quality by considering the connection to have
failed if fewer than min out of the last per LQRs we sent have been responded to
by the peer (default 1/5).
echolqm Use LCP Echo-Requests rather than standard Link-Quality-Report messages for
link quality assessment and policy decisions. The peer can override this if it
actively tries to configure Link Quality Monitoring unless the
nolqm parameter
is also specified.
nolqm Don’t send or recognize Link-Quality-Report messages. If
echolqm is also
specified, Echo-Request messages will be used to detect link failures.
idle idle-time[/session-idle-time]
Shut down the link when idle-time seconds pass without receiving or transmit-
ting a packet specified in the ‘keepup’ category in the filter file (default is to
never consider the link idle).
If session-idle-time is specified and any TCP sessions are open, shut down the
link when session-idle-time seconds pass without receiving or transmitting a
packet.
max-configure tries Set the PPP Max-Configure counter (the maximum number of Configure-
Requests sent without a response) to tries .
max-terminate tries Set the PPP Max-Terminate counter (the maximum number of Terminate-
Requests sent without a response) to tries .
max-failure tries Set the PPP Max-Failure counter (the maximum number of Configure-Naks sent
without a positive response) to tries .
IP Options
local:remote The address of this machine, followed by the expected address for the remote
machine. Can be specified either as symbolic names or as literal IP addresses, if
their addresses cannot be discovered locally without using the PPP link.
Both addresses are optional, but a colon by itself is not valid, and the remote
address is required when running as a daemon in ‘autocall’ mode. If only local:
is specified when receiving an incoming call, the remote address will be
discovered during IPCP IP-Address negotiations.
If either address is followed by a tilde character (‘˜’), or if the tilde appears alone,
pppd accepts the IP address given by the peer during IPCP negotiations,
whether for the local end or the peer’s end of the link. (not available in SLIP
mode)
Because SLIP cannot perform option negotiations, including IPCP, both
addresses should normally be specified, and the tilde option is unavailable. To
obtain a similar "feature", the peer must provide the IP address textually during
the login process, and a new value must be obtained using the Systems file ‘\A’
chat script feature (see ppp.Systems(4)).
netmask subnet-mask Set the subnet mask of the interface to subnet-mask, expressed either in C-style
hexadecimal (e.g. 0xffffff00) or in decimal dotted-quad notation (e.g.
255.255.255.0). The default subnet mask will be appropriate for the network
