exec exec-cmd Run exec-cmd up addr args when the link comes up, and exec-cmd
down
addr args when it goes down. Addr is the IP address of the peer, and args is
the list of arguments given to
pppd.
exec6 exec-cmd Run IC exec-cmd " up " "interface-id args" when the link comes up, and exec-
cmd
down interface-id args when it goes down. Interfac-id is the 64-bit IPv6
interface identifier of the peer, and args is the list of arguments supplied to
pppd. This is
router6 When IPv6 is enabled, the
IFF_PRIVATE flag will not be set to IPv6 interface
so that the interface is able to forward IPv6 datagrams. Also, this interface
will not be able to receive any router advertisement packets for configuring the
IPv6 secondary interface. Instead, use the
ifconfig command or stateful
configuration methods like DHCPv6 to configure the IPv6 secondary interface.
noipv4 When specified, IPCP negotiation will not take place and no IPv4 datagrams
will pass through the link.
noipv6 When specified, IPV6CP negotiation will not take place and no IPv6
datagrams will pass through the link.
nonice Run at a normal user process priority, rather than using the nice() library
routine to elevate pppd scheduling priority to -10.
Communications Options
asyncmap async-map Set the desired Async Control Character Map to async-map, expressed in C-
style hexadecimal notation (default 0xA0000).
noasyncmap Disable LCP Async Control Character Map negotiation.
escape odd-character In addition to those characters specified in the PPP Async Control Character
Map (which can include only 0x00 through 0x1F), also apply the escaping
algorithm when transmitting odd-character. The value of odd-character must
be between 0x00 and 0xFF, and cannot be any of 0x5E, 0x7D or 0x7E.
Odd-character can be specified as a decimal number, in C-style hexadecimal
notation, or as an ASCII character with optional
ˆ control-character notation.
For example, the XON character could be specified as 17, 0x11, or ˆQ.
If a character specified with the
escape argument, when transformed into its
escaped form, would be the same as a character contained in the peer’s nego-
tiated Async Control Character Map, a warning will be printed in the log file
and the character specified on the command line will not be escaped.
If a character specified with the
escape argument, when transformed into its
escaped form, would be the same as a character specified in another escape
argument on the daemon’s command line, pppd will print an error message
and exit.
device Communicate over the named device (default /dev/tty).
comm-speed Set communications rate to comm-speed bits per second. Recommend values
By default, Internal-clocking cannot be used with RS-232
ignore-cd Ignore the state of the CD (Carrier Detect, also called DCD, Data Carrier
Detect) signal. This is useful for systems that don’t support CD but want to
run PPP over a dedicated line.
xonxoff Set the line to use in-band ("software") flow control, using the characters DC3
(ˆS, XOFF, ASCII 0x13) to stop the flow and DC1 (ˆQ, XON, ASCII 0x11) to
resume. (The default is to use no flow control.) For an outbound connection,
this may be specified either in Devices or on the pppd command line.
telnet When used on an answering pppd command line, negotiate the telnet binary
option and understand telnet escape processing. Not for use with device or
auto.
