Parameter(s)

<pool_name>

The IP pool name (an alpha-numeric string).

<starting_IP>

Starting IP address.

<last_IP>

Ending IP address.

<internal external>

This fourth command-line argument is optional and has two options:

internal–For internal use only.

external–Only when specifically requested. For users receiving their IP addresses from the RADIUS using the Token-Pool RADIUS attribute.

Example(s)

Host(config)# ip local-pool pool1 12.2.3.56 12.2.3.240

Using the lcp renegotiate command

Host(config)# lcp renegotiate

In some cases, there is a need to renegotiate the LCP with all the connected peers. The lcp renegotiate command enables this request.

Usage

lcp renegotiate (or no lcp renegotiate)

Term Description

LCP: In the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), the Link Control Protocol (LCP) establishes, configures, and tests data- link Internet connections. Before establishing communications over a point-to-point link, each end of the PPP link must send out LCP packets. The LCP packet either accepts or rejects the identity of its linked peer, agrees upon packet size limits, and looks for common misconfiguration errors. Basically, the LCP packet checks the telephone line connection to see whether the connection is good enough to sustain data transmission at the intended rate. Once the LCP packet accepts the link, traffic can be transported on the network; if the LCP packet determines the link is not functioning properly, it terminates the link.

LCP packets are divided into three classes:

Link configuration packets used to establish and configure a link

Link termination packets used to terminate a link

Link maintenance packets used to manage and debug a link
