HP-UX Reference (11i v3 07/02) - 1 User Commands N-Z (vol 2)
p
pppd(1) pppd(1)
exec exec-cmd Run exec-cmd up addr args when the link comes up, and exec-cmd
down addr
args when it goes down; where addr is the IP address of the peer, and args is the
list of arguments given to
pppd.
exec6 exec-cmd Run exec-cmd up interface-id args when the link comes up, and exec-cmd
down interface-id args when it goes down; where interfac-id is the 64-bit IPv6
interface identifier of the peer, and args is the list of arguments supplied to
pppd.
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 algo-
rithm 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 nota-
tion, 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.
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.
Link Management Options
nooptions Disable all LCP and IPCP options.
