A.3 PPP Commands
Console commands should be prefixed with ppp in order to direct them to the ppp
process.
A.3.1 Console object types
The ppp process presents its setup in terms of a number of distinct object types:
The upper limit on the number of each of these objects permitted in a system is
configured using the
config resource console command.
The current state of each object is saved by config save .
 Channels
The ppp process provides a number of PPP connection channels. A channel is a
single PPP connection. Channels are numbered from 1. Many
ppp console
commands affect only a single channel. The command is prefixed with the channel
number.
 Users
A
user is a user name and password. All users must have distinct names. The user
console command controls these.
A.3.2 Console examples
 IP dial-out over PPP
To perform a dial-out over a PVC, operate as follows:
First set up a router device for PPP to use. No IP address should be specified, so
that the device is created but not enabled. The device name
ppp_device should be
used.
ip device add ppp_device ether //ppp/DEVICE=1
ppp 1 pvc <whatever>
ppp 1 welogin <name> <password>
ppp 1 enable
If the configuration is saved at this point then the dial-in will be attempted
automatically when the system is reset.
