PPPCONFIGURATION

CONFIGURING PPP

Note: A thorough understanding of PPP protocol is required before you attempt to change the

PPPconfiguration. By changing the PPP configuration, you are changing the PPP protocol negotiation parameters. These parameters only need to be changed when you are attempting to interoperate with devices that do not provide a standard PPP implementation. Changing these parameters can result in PPP option negotiation failure and the inability to communicate with remote devices. The default parameters are adequate for most sites.

PPP CONFIGURATION ELEMENTS

MAX TERMINATE

The number of Terminate-Request packets sent without receiving a Terminate-Ack before assuming that the peer is unable to respond.

MAX CONFIGURE

The number of Configure-Request packets sent without receiving a valid Configure-Ack, Configure-Nak or Configure-Reject before assuming that the peer is unable to respond.

MAX FAILURE

The number of Configure-Nak packets sent without sending a Configure-Ack before assuming that configuration is not converging. Any additional Configure-Nak packets are converted to Configure-Reject packets.
