Chapter 6: Configuring PPP Sessions
Information | Description |
|
|
Connection Name | A unique descriptive identifier of the session that also displays in the connection |
| field. |
ATM VPI | Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) identifies the virtual path that transports ATM cells in a |
| virtual Channel. The range of values is 0 to 15. |
ATM VCI | Virtual Channel Idenifier (VCI) identifies a virtual channel for each session (each |
| session is a virtual channel). Can be a number from 32 up to a maximum of 253 (on |
| VPI 0, VCIs 254 and 255 are reserved), with the first 32 (0 through 31) reserved. |
Login Name | Each session requires a Logon Name that is supplied by the service provider. |
Login Password | Each session requires a Logon Password that is supplied by the service provider. |
Primary DNS | IP address of Domain Name Service device that translates names into numeric IP |
| addresses. This is the device at the service provider that the modem will translate |
| requests. |
Secondary DNS | IP address of a secondary Domain Name System device that translates names into |
| numeric IP addresses. |
Address Translation | Enables/disables the use of Network Address Translation (NAT) protocol to translate |
| private IP addresses to public IP addresses assigned to each session. |
InBound NAT Default | IP address of the designated NAT default user for inbound traffic. When the NAT |
| engine does not have enough information to do the inbound translation, it forwards |
| the inbound packet to the NAT default user. |
Continuous Retry | Enables/disables the Continuous Retry function of the PPP session establishment |
| process. When Continuous Retry is enabled, the PPP engine continuously retries |
| establishing the PPP session until one of the following is true: |
| • The PPP session is established successfully. The session status then goes to the |
| UP state. |
| • Authentication fails during the handshaking. The session status then goes to the |
| LogInErr state. |
| • The PPP session is disconnected. The session status then goes to the DOWN |
| state. |
Always ON | When enabled, the PPP engine establishes/maintains the session even when there |
| are no users assigned to it. When disabled, the PPP engine will not establish or will |
| terminate the session when there are no users assigned to it. |
Session Enable | If enabled, the session is active and is ready to establish the PPP link. If disabled, the |
| session is not active. |
Address Assignment | Determines whether the session IP address is assigned by the service provider |
| (Dynamic) or entered by the user (Fixed). |
