Link Management Options
nooptions Disable all LCP and IPCP options.
noaccomp Disable HDLC Address and Control Field compression.
noprotcomp Disable LCP Protocol Field Compression.
slip Use RFC 1055 SLIP packet framing rather than PPP packet framing. Dis-
ables all option negotiation, and implies noasyncmap,
noipaddress,
vjslots 16, novjcid, nomagic,
nomru, and mru 1006. Implies
vjcomp if peer sends a header-compressed TCP packet.
extra-slip-end
When running in SLIP mode, prepend a SLIP packet framing character (0xC0)
to each frame before transmission, even if this frame immediately follows the
previous frame. By default,
pppd transmits only one framing character
between adjacent SLIP frames.
extra-ppp-flag
When running in PPP mode, prepend a PPP packet framing character (0x7E)
to each frame before transmission, even if this frame immediately follows the
previous frame. By default,
pppd transmits only one framing character
between adjacent PPP frames.
nomagic Disable LCP Magic Number negotiation.
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 inter-
face.
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 .
