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.
