Job aid: PPP file options

Option

Description

 

 

asyncmap <value>

Configures the desired async map to

 

the value you specify.

 

 

chap_file <file>

Obtains Challenge-Handshake

 

Authentication Protocol (CHAP)

 

secrets from the specified file. You

 

require this option if either peer

 

requires CHAP authentication. If your

 

users must use the same IP address,

 

the PAP and CHAP secret files must

 

specify the same IP address for all

 

users and it must match the peer-ip

 

setting on the modem port.

 

 

chap_interval <value>

Configures the interval, in seconds, for

 

the CHAP rechallenge to the value you

 

specify.

 

 

chap_restart <value>

Configures the timeout, in seconds,

 

for CHAP negotiation to the value you

 

specify.

 

 

debug

Activates the PPP daemon debug

 

mode.

 

 

default_route

Adds a default route to the system

 

routing table, after successful Internet

 

Protocol Control Protocol (IPCP)

 

negotiation. Use the peer as the

 

gateway. After the PPP connection

 

ends, the system removes this entry.

 

 

driver_debug

Activates PPP driver debug mode.

 

 

escape_chars <value>

Configures the characters to escape

 

on transmission to the value you

 

specify.

 

 

ipcp_accept_local

Accepts what the remote peer uses as

 

the target local IP address, even if the

 

local IP address is specified.

 

 

ipcp_accept_remote

Accepts what the remote peer uses as

 

the IP address, even if you specify the

 

remote IP address.

 

 

ipcp_max_configure <value>

Configures the maximum number of

 

transmissions for IPCP configuration

 

requests to the value you specify.
