Nortel Networks 8600 manual Procedure job aid PPP file, Slip-rx-compression, Truefalse

	Connecting a modem 49
Variable	Value
peer-ip <ipaddr>	Configures the peer (PC) IP address
	on the point-to-point link. The default
	is 0.0.0.0. The switch assigns this
	value to any PC that connects
	through the modem port with
	configured TCP/IP properties to
	obtain an IP address automatically.
	If the client uses a static IP address,
	the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch
	8600 accepts this address. If you use
	Password Authentication Protocol
	(PAP) authentication, you must
	ensure that the client uses the correct
	IP address.
pppfile <file>	Specifies the PPP configuration file
	you must use to provide details for
	authentication and other options
	the switch includes during the boot
	process. If you configure the port
	mode to PPP, you must specify a
	PPP filename. For more information
	about this file, see “Procedure job
	aid: PPP file” (page 49).
	The PPP file name is a string value
	of no more than 64 characters.
	Identify the file in the format
	{a.b.c.d:peer:/pcmcia//flash/}<file>.
	ATTENTION
	Do not specify a PPP filename with
	more than 64 characters.
restart	Shuts down and initializes the port.
slip-compression <truefalse>	Enables or disables Transmission
	Control Protocol over IP (TCP/IP)
	header compression for SLIP mode.
	The default is false.
slip-rx-compression	Enables or disables TCP/IP header
<truefalse>	compression on the receive packet
	for SLIP mode. The default is false.
