set ppp module [vccn] connection-type
{ instant-on | always-on }
Specifies whether a PPP connection is maintained by the Motorola Netopia® Gateway when it is unused for
extended periods. If you specify always-on, the Motorola Netopia® Gateway never shuts down the PPP
link. If you specify instant-on, the Motorola Netopia® Gateway shuts down the PPP link after the number
of seconds specified in the time-out setting (below) if no traffic is moving over the circuit.
set ppp module [vccn] time-out integer
If you specified a connection type of instant-on, specifies the number of seconds, in the range 30 -
3600, with a default value of 300, the Motorola Netopia® Gateway should wait for communication activity
before terminating the PPP link.
Configuring Port Authentication. You can use the following command to specify how your Motorola Neto-
pia® Gateway should respond when it receives an authentication request from a remote peer.
The settings for port authentication on the local Motorola Netopia® Gateway must match the authentica-
tion that is expected by the remote peer. For example, if the remote peer requires CHAP authentication and
has a name and CHAP secret for the Motorola Netopia® Gateway, you must enable CHAP and specify the
same name and secret on the Motorola Netopia® Gateway before the link can be established.
set ppp module [vccn] port-authentication
option [ off | on | pap-only | chap-only ]
Specifying on turns both PAP and CHAP on, or you can select PAP or CHAP. Specify the username and
password when port authentication is turned on (both CHAP and PAP, CHAP or PAP.) Authentication must
be enabled before you can enter other information.
set ppp module [vccn] port-authentication username username
The username argument is 1 – 255 alphanumeric characters. The information you enter must match the
username configured in the PPP peer's authentication database.
set ppp module [vccn] port-authentication password password
The password argument is 1 – 128 alphanumeric characters. The information you enter must match the
password used by the PPP peer.
