Media-Independent PPP and Multilink PPP Commands

Media-Independent PPP and Multilink PPP Commands

This chapter describes the function and displays the syntax for the commands to configure the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) for dial-up wide-area networking. For more information about defaults and usage guidelines, see the corresponding chapter of the Dial Solutions Command Reference.

compress

To configure software compression for Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) encapsulation, use the ppp compress interface configuration command. To disable compression, use the no form of this command.

compress [predictor | stac]
no compress
[predictor | stac]


predictor (Optional) Specifies that a predictor compression algorithm will be used.
stac (Optional) Specifies that a Stacker (LZS) compression algorithm will be used.

encapsulation ppp

To set the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) as the encapsulation method used by a serial or ISDN interface, use the encapsulation ppp interface configuration command.

encapsulation ppp

ip address-pool

To enable an address pooling mechanism used to supply IP addresses to dial-in asynchronous, synchronous, or ISDN point-to-point interfaces, use the ip address-pool global configuration command. To disable IP address pooling globally on all interfaces with the default configuration, use the no form of the command.

ip address-pool [dhcp-proxy-client | local]
no ip address-pool


dhcp-proxy-client (Optional) Uses the router as the proxy-client between a third-party Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server and peers connecting to the router.
local (Optional) Uses the local address pool named default.

ip dhcp-server

To specify which Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers to use on your network, specify the IP address of one or more DHCP servers available on the network, use the ip dhcp-server global configuration command. Use the no form of the command to remove a DHCP server's IP address.

ip dhcp-server [ip-address | name]
no ip dhcp-server [ip-address | name]


ip-address (Optional) IP address of a DHCP server.
name (Optional) Name of a DHCP server.

ip local pool

To configure a local pool of IP addresses to be used when a remote peer connects to a point-to-point interface, use the ip local pool global configuration command. To delete an address pool, use the no form of this command.

ip local pool {default | pool-name low-ip-address [high-ip-address]}
no ip local pool
{default | poolname}

default Default local address pool that is used if no other pool is named.
pool-name Name of a specific local address pool.
low-ip-address Lowest IP address in the pool.
high-ip-address (Optional) Highest IP address in the pool. If this value is omitted only the low-ip-address IP address is included in the local pool. The maximum number of IP addresses per pool is 256.

ip rtp reserve

To reserve a special queue for a set of Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) packet flows belonging to a range of UDP destination ports, use the ip rtp reserve interface configuration command. To disable the special queue for real-time traffic, use the no form of the command.

ip rtp reserve lowest-udp-port range-of-ports [maximum-bandwidth]
no rtp reserve


lowest-udp-port Lowest UDP port number to which the packets are sent.
range-of-ports Number, which added to the lowest-UDP-port value, yields the highest UDP port value.
maximum-bandwidth (Optional) Bandwidth, in kilobits per second, reserved for the RTP packets to be sent to the specified UDP ports.

multilink virtual-template

To specify a virtual template from which the specified Multilink PPP bundle interface can clone its interface parameters, use the multilink virtual-template global configuration command.

multilink virtual-template number

number Number of the virtual template; an integer in the range 1 through 9.

peer default ip address

Use the peer default ip address interface configuration command to specify an IP address, an address from a specific IP address pool, or an address from the DHCP mechanism to be returned to a remote peer connecting to this interface. Use the no form of the command to disable a prior peer IP address pooling configuration on an interface.

peer default ip address {ip-address | dhcp | pool [pool-name]}
no peer default ip address


ip-address Specific IP address to be assigned to a remote peer dialing in to the interface. To prevent duplicate IP addresses from being assigned on more than one interface, this command argument cannot be applied to a dialer rotary group nor to an ISDN interface.
dhcp Retrieve an IP address from the DHCP server.
pool Use the global default mechanism as defined by the ip address-pool command unless the optional pool-name argument is supplied. This is the default.
pool-name (Optional) Name of a local address pool created using the ip local pool command. Retrieve an address from this pool regardless of the global default mechanism setting.

peer neighbor-route

To reenable the creation of peer neighbor routes on an interface once this default behavior has been disabled, use the peer neighbor-route interface configuration command. To disable the default behavior of creating a neighbor route for the peer on a point-to-point interface, use the no form of this command.

peer neighbor-route
no peer neighbor-route

ppp authentication

To specify the order in which the CHAP or PAP protocols are requested on the interface, use the ppp authentication interface configuration command. Use the no form of the command to disable this authentication.

chap Enables CHAP on a serial interface.
pap Enables PAP on a serial interface.
chap pap Enables both CHAP and PAP, and performs CHAP authentication before PAP.

To reset to the default of immediate reset, use the no form of this command.

ppp max-bad-auth number
no ppp max-bad-auth

secret For CHAP authentication: specifies the secret password for the local router or access server or the remote device. The secret is encrypted when it is stored on the local router or access server. This prevents the secret from being stolen. The secret password can consist of any string of up to 11 printable ASCII characters, but cannot include spaces or underscores. There is no limit to the number of username-password combinations that can be specified, allowing any number of remote devices to be authenticated.
