146 CHAPTER 7: PACKET OVER SONET ADMINISTRATION
Enabling NCP
IP Control Protocol (IPCP) is the Network Control Protocol (NCP) used to
configure, enable, and disable IP protocol access on both ends of a SONET
point-to-point circuit. In order for IP packets to be transmitted over the
point-to-point link, IPCP must reach the open state. This enables IP
communication between the two circuit endpoints.
By default, the Cuda 12000 is configured to provide its IP address during
IPCP negotiations. But when negotiating with a Juniper Networks system,
providing the IP address during IPCP negotiation prevents a successful
connection.
When the interface must connect with a Juniper Networks system, you can
disable reporting of an IP address during IPCP negotiation.
To enable or disable reporting of the IP address during negotiation, perform
the following task within interface pos <c/s/i> mode:
Task Command
1. Enable the reporting of the IP
address during IPCP
negotiation.
ppp ipcp-report-address
2. Disable the reporting of the IP
address during IPCP
negotiation.
no ppp ipcp-report-address
