Chapter 4 Configuring PPP over ATM with NAT

Configure the Dialer Interface

Perform these steps to configure a dialer interface for the ATM interface on the router, starting in global configuration mode:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

interface dialer dialer-rotary-group-number

Creates a dialer interface (numbered 0–255), and

 

 

enters into interface configuration mode.

 

Example:

 

 

 

Router(config)# interface dialer 0

 

 

 

Router(config-if)#

 

 

Step 2

 

 

ip address negotiated

Specifies that the IP address for the dialer

 

 

interface is obtained through PPP/IPCP (IP

 

Example:

Control Protocol) address negotiation.

 

Router(config-if)#ip address negotiated

 

 

 

Router(config-if)#

 

 

Step 3

 

 

ip mtu bytes

Sets the size of the IP maximum transmission unit

 

 

(MTU). The default minimum is 128 bytes. The

 

Example:

maximum for ATM is 1492 bytes.

 

Router(config-if)# ip mtu 1492

 

 

 

Router(config-if)#

 

 

Step 4

 

 

encapsulation encapsulation-type

Sets the encapsulation type to PPP for the data

 

 

packets being transmitted and received.

 

Example:

 

 

 

Router(config-if)# encapsulation ppp

 

 

 

Router(config-if)#

 

 

Step 5

 

 

ppp authentication {protocol1 [protocol2...]}

Sets the PPP authentication method.

 

Example:

The example applies the Challenge Handshake

 

Authentication Protocol (CHAP).

 

 

 

Router(config-if)#ppp authentication chap

For details about this command and additional

 

Router(config-if)#

 

 

parameters that can be set, see the Cisco IOS

 

 

Security Command Reference.

Step 6

 

 

dialer pool number

Specifies the dialer pool to use to connect to a

 

 

specific destination subnetwork.

 

Example:

 

 

 

Router(config-if)# dialer pool 1

 

 

 

Router(config-if)#

 

 

Step 7

 

 

dialer-group group-number

Assigns the dialer interface to a dialer group

 

 

(1–10).

 

 

Example:

Tip

Using a dialer group controls access to

 

 

 

Router(config-if)# dialer-group 1

 

your router.

 

Router(config-if)#
