Configure Remote Site Profiles for Leased Line PPP
Remote Site Profiles allow the router to have different sets of configuration parameters for each of the possible remote site PPP routers that may be connected to this router. This allows greater control over the configuration of each possible PPP connection.
Each remote site profile is named with an alias. The alias provides a simple method of maintaining configuration control over the remote site profiles defined. For example, a remote site profile may be created with a name that describes the location of the remote
PPProuter. The alias also provides a method of matching a remote site profile and its configuration settings to a particular user name on an incoming connection. When a PPP security user name is defined the same as one of the remote site profiles, that remote site profile will be used for PPP negotiations after the security authentication process has passed. In other words, when this router receives a link connection attempt it will prompt the remote device for a user name and password (PPP security). Once the name and password have been authenticated, the user name is used to search the remote site profile entries to find a match. Once a match is found, the configuration parameters defined within that remote site profile are used to finish establishing the PPP connection.
The outgoing user name in the remote site security parameters entry, and the remote site alias defined on the partner PPP router must be the same to allow for proper operation.
The following steps must be performed on the router in order to define a new remote site profile.
