CONFIG Commands

set ip gateway interface { ip-address | ppp-vccn }

Speciﬁes how the Netopia Gateway should route information to the default Gateway. If you

select ip-address, you must enter the IP address of a host on a local or remote network.

If you specify ppp, the Netopia unit uses the default gateway being used by the remote

PPP peer.

IP-over-PPP Settings. Use the following commands to conﬁgure settings for routing IP

over a virtual PPP interface.

☛ NOTE:

For a DSL platform you must identify the virtual PPP interface [vccn], a num-

ber from vcc1 to vcc8.

set ip ip-ppp [

vccn

] option { on | off }

Enables or disables IP routing through the virtual PPP interface. By default, IP routing is

turned off. You must enable IP routing before you can enter other IP routing settings for the

virtual PPP interface. If you turn off IP routing and save the new conﬁguration, the Netopia

Gateway clears IP routing settings

set ip ip-ppp

[vccn]

address

ip_address

Assigns an IP address to the virtual PPP interface. If you specify an IP address other than

0.0.0.0, your Netopia Gateway will not negotiate its IP address with the remote peer. If the

remote peer does not accept the IP address speciﬁed in the

ip_address

argument as

valid, the link will not come up.

The default value for the

ip_address

argument is 0.0.0.0, which indicates that the vir-

tual PPP interface will use the IP address assigned to it by the remote peer. Note that the

remote peer must be conﬁgured to supply an IP address to your Netopia Gateway if you

enter 0.0.0.0 for the

ip_address

argument.
