A.7.3 bind
Syntax
bind <ipaddress>|any|none
Description:
Specify which local interface to bind a listener to for incoming control connections.
If ipaddress is specified, PPTP will listen on port 1723 on that interface only for
incoming control connections. Typically this will be the IP address of the local side
network interface.
If any is specified, PPTP will accept control connections on any interface.
If none is specified, no incoming control connections will be accepted; in this case,
tunnels may only be established via the local create and connect commands.
Configuration saving saves this information. The default is none.
Example
To listen for incoming control connections on local interface 192.168.1.1 only, enter:
pptp bind 192.168.1.1
See also
<tunnel> create on section A.7.4, using the listen option.
An incoming connection can only be accepted if the listener has a free
tunnel object allocated to it. (Such objects are allocated with the
<tunnel>
create listen
command.) The tunnel object used will be freed for use
again when the tunnel is closed by either end.
