514CHAPTER 31: PPP AND MP CONFIGURATION COMMANDS

Parameter None

Description Use the ppp ipcp dns request command to enable a device to request its peer for the DNS server address actively through a port.

Use the undo ppp ipcp dns request command to restore the default.

By default, a device does not request its peer for the DNS server address actively.

You can configure a device to request its peer (especially in cases where a device is connected to the operator’s access server through a dialup link) for the DNS server address during PPP negotiation, after which domain names can be resolved on the device.

n You can check the DNS server address of a port by displaying the information about the port.

Example # Enable the device to request its peer for the DNS server address actively through Serial 2/0 interface.

Parameter None

Description Use the ppp ipcp remote-address forced command to forbid the peer to use self-configured IP address, but have to use the one allocated by the local device.

Use the undo ppp ipcp remote-address forced command to cancel this feature.

By default, the peer can use its self-configured IP address in PPP IPCP negotiation. The peer can request the local device for an address or use a fixed IP address configured by itself

If you do not want the peer to use self-configured IP address, you must configure the ppp ipcp remote-address forced command on the local interface.

Related command: remote address.
