Netopia CLI 874 manual Cp name index

Motorola Netopia® Router Connection Profile Commands 3-11

cp { name index }

This command allows you to create a connection profile, which is a structure used to define WAN connections. index can be any value from 1 to 16. The command has no effect if the profile already exists. The name of the profile defaults to “profile index” (e.g., “profile 1”).

no cp { name index }

This command allows you to delete a connection profile.

cp { name index } enable { yes no }

This command allows you to enable or disable connection profile index. Use this command if you want to temporarily disable a profile but do not want to lose its configuration.

cp { name index } tag string

This command allows you to name connection profile string, which can be up to 32 characters long.

cp { name index } dle { hdlc ppp frame-relay rfc1483 atmp pptp ipsec l2tp }

This command allows you to set the encapsulation type that the connection profile will use when establishing a WAN connection. Note that a profile whose encapsulation type is incompatible with the global encapsulation type is essentially disabled and cannot be used. Also, when a profile is created, it inherits the global encapsulation type by default and thus it is not usually necessary to explicitly set this parameter.

Note: atmfuni is accepted as a synonym for rfc1483, and frame-relayis accepted as a synonym for rfc1490. l2tp is supported beginning with Firmware Version 8.2.

Beginning with Firmware Version 8.3.1, the following optional modifiers are permitted if the specified DLE is ppp:

pppoe-enable [ { yes no } ] { llcsnap vcmux vc-multiplexed }

and the following optional modifiers are permitted if the specified DLE is rfc1483:

{bridged routed }

cp { name index } pppoe pppoa-autodetect [ yes no ] show cp { name index } pppoe pppoa-autodetect

Note: These commands are supported beginning with firmware version 8.5.

These commands allow you to enable, disable, or show the status of PPPoE/PPPoA autodetection.

If you are using PPP, and you have selected pppoe-enable, you can further enable the ability to connect automatically to your ISP’s central office equipment whether they are using PPP over Ethernet or PPP over ATM. If your ISP is using PPPoE, the connection will be made normally. If your ISP is using PPPoA, when the Motorola Netopia® Gateway detects this, it will automatically switch to PPPoA transparently.
